Vertex Position

[christianmassyn]

How do i get the worldspace coordinate of a vertex at a given time. i usualy just get a 0 0 0 value except if i manualy pulled the vertex. i used the command >>> getAttr pCylinder1.vtx[49].ty; must i set a flag??

pointPosition. However dont even dream about using pointPosition or getAttar in a expression (you can but you also get very big backlash on performance, also its NOT the way you operate maya).

instead download rivet form the scripts repository. This si the answer to your other question.

Thanks Joojaa! The skripts works a bit in reverse from what i wanted but i can use the folicle idea a lot!
