Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Obtaining Data From Graphs
Is there any way to get a set of data from a graph in maya, for example a data series of the points of which keys are set so that the data series is as follows
Time (frame) Translate X Value
1 10
5 12
7 15
17 17
etc etc
Since the values are there to make up the graph is there a MEL script that can extract there values into a series of values likethe above example?
Hope this makes sense.
Cheers
Steve

float $timeArray[] = {};
float $valueArray[] = {};
int $nextIndex = size($timeArray);
float $currentTime = `currentTime -q`;
string $myObject = "pCube1";
$timeArray[$nextIndex] = $currentTime;
$valueArray[$nextIndex] = `getAttr -t $currentTime ($myObject + ".tx")`;

Cheers for that, i'll give it a whack. If I get stuck will the help files give me some pointers to the attributes that your calling and the functions?
Very new to mel (have used Delphi and C++), only used the noise and random functions to animate things!
