Detailed Description

Elastic node behavior in Maya.

Author:

Javier Romero - Dr Lihua You.

Version:

1.0

Date:

Sept 2005

Note:

Elastic force implementation:

Using id( 0x00501 );

This node generates an elastic force for elastic behaviour in Maya.

Implementation of "Fast generation of 3D deformable moving surfaces" You and Zhang, IEEE 2003

Vertex = node, vertices = nodes.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

elasticForceNode::elasticForceNode (    )

Constructor, called through creator() ;. Constructor is called by the creator method.

elasticForceNode::~elasticForceNode (    )

Destructor. No action related to the destructor method.

Member Function Documentation

MBoundingBox elasticForceNode::boundingBox (    )  const [virtual]

Implementation of the boundingBox routine. Otherwise, zoom would not work properly. Bounding box routines.

void * elasticForceNode::creator (    )  [static]

Actual constructor called from Maya. Calls the constructor.

void elasticForceNode::draw (  M3dView &    view, const MDagPath &    path, M3dView::DisplayStyle    style, M3dView::DisplayStatus    status )  [virtual]

Here we use OpenGL to draw the locator itself. Draws the locator in Maya using OpenGL.

MStatus elasticForceNode::initialize (    )  [static]

Member functions from MPxLocatorNode. Defines the attributes of the node.

bool elasticForceNode::isBounded (    )  const [virtual]

As our locator is going to provide with its own boundingBox evaluation routine, we tell Maya it is bounded. In order to have bounding box evaluation, this function is set to true.

Member Data Documentation

const MTypeId elasticForceNode::id [static]

Node Id and type. Id of the node inside Maya. Must not clash with exisitng ones.

const MString elasticForceNode::typeName [static]

Type name of the node. Defined in the plugIn main.
