MEL transformation matrix?
 

Hi,

New here and to MEL, hoping someone can assist.

I'm trying to explicitly set an object's transformation matrix in MEL, but I can't find any info on this... I see references to scale, rotate, etc. but nothing on setting the full matrix.

(I already have a matrix, so I want to avoid trying to compute the rotation, scale, etc. values to set those this way, if possible)

Am I missing something obvious, or is this not possible? 3ds, pov-ray, etc. all allow this, so I'd assume MEL does also.


Thanks!

Got it:

setAttr -type "matrix" blah.xformMatrix 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 2 3 1;

etc.

just out of curiosity what are you aiming at with this? :)

Autogenerating MEL script for a school project, much easier to deal directly with xform matrices in my case.

Take care, g
