revl.validate(commands)

Check if the commands are well-formed.

Parameters:commands (list of revl.Command or compatible tuple) – Commands. Raises:TypeError – Some of the commands aren’t well-formed.

---

revl.NULL_OBJ = maya.OpenMaya.MObject().kNullObj

Constant denoting an invalid object.

---

class revl.Command(weight, function, args=None, kwargs=None)

Weighted command.

It is not necessary to use this class to define a command as it can be done by directly using a tuple instead. But the tuple needs to be compatible with the structure defined here.

weight

float – Probability for this command to be evaluated. The value is relative to the other commands defined in the same set.

function

function – Function to evaluate. Its first argument needs to the command context Context.

args

tuple or None – Additional arguments to pass to the function. None is the equivalent of setting an empty tuple.

kwargs

dict or None – Keyword arguments to pass to the function. None is the equivalent of setting an empty dictionary.

---

class revl.Primitive(generator, transform, shapes)

Primitive.

An instance of this class is returned by the createPrimitive() function.

generator

maya.OpenMaya.MObject – Node object generating the shapes.

transform

maya.OpenMaya.MObject – Transform object.

shapes

list of maya.OpenMaya.MObject – Shape objects.

---

class revl.PrimitiveType

Enumerator for the primitive types.

This is used as a parameter for the createPrimitive() function.

revl.pickTransform(context)

Randomly pick a transform.

Pickable transforms are listed within the Context.transforms attribute.

Parameters:context (revl.Context) – Command context. Returns:The picked transform or NULL_OBJ if the attribute Context.transforms is empty. Return type:maya.OpenMaya.MObject
