Description
This class provides methods to access all components of a character, for example: RISkeletonComponent, RIVisemeComponent, RIFaceComponent, etc. Retrieved component operations are thus available for usage.
Inheritance
RINode > RIObject > RIAvatar
Examples
1 avatar = RLPy.RScene.FindObject( RLPy.EObjectType_Avatar, "Jade" )
2
3 # set the name of the character
4 avatar.SetName("new_name")
5
6 # Get the name of the character
7 avatar_name = avatar.GetName()
8 print(avatar_name) # Jade
9
10 # Set a Transform key
11 control = avatar.GetControl("Transform")
12 transform = RLPy.RTransform.IDENTITY
13 transform.T().x = 100.0
14 transform.T().y = 100.0
15 transform.T().z = 100.0
16 control.SetValue(RLPy.RTime(0), transform)
17
18 # Link and unlink to other objects; iClone Avatar can't set Parent
19 prop2 = RLPy.RScene.FindObject(RLPy.EObjectType_Prop, "Box2")
20 result = avatar.LinkTo(prop2, RLPy.RTime(0))
21 result = avatar.UnLink(RLPy.RTime(0))
22
23 # Get the bounds
24 ret_max = RLPy.RVector3()
25 ret_center = RLPy.RVector3()
26 ret_min = RLPy.RVector3()
27 ret = avatar.GetBounds( ret_max, ret_center, ret_min )
28 print(ret)
29
30 # Get the pivot point
31 ret_pos = RLPy.RVector3()
32 ret_rot = RLPy.RVector3()
33 avatar.GetPivot( ret_pos, ret_rot )
34 print(ret)
35
36 # Clone the character
37 clone_avatar = avatar.Clone()
38 print( clone_avatar )
39
40 # Check character selection
41 RLPy.RScene.SelectObject(avatar)
42 print(avatar.IsSelected()) #True
Member Functions
SetVisible (self, kTime, bVisible )
Set a visibility key by a given time.
Parameters
- kTime [IN] Time at which to change visibility - RTime
- bVisible [IN] Visibility status - bool
Returns
- Success - RLPy.RStatus.Success
- Failure - RLPy.RStatus.Failure
