Hey all.
I have a simple script that distributes spheres in a circular pattern
(fixed by Justin Israel), and was looking for a solution that would
distribute them in an ellipse/oval pattern. I am also trying to do this in
bifrost, but as I have done for the circular pattern I need to understand
the math first in python.
I also found this formula “(x2/a2) + (y2/b2) = 1” but not sure how to apply
it.
Thank you!
import maya.cmds as cmds
degrees = 180
max_iterations = 21
t_x = 6
radius=0.15
for i in range(max_iterations):
print(i)
if degrees % 360 == 0:
rotation = float(degrees) / max_iterations * i
else:
rotation = float(degrees) * i / (max_iterations-1)
my_sphere = cmds.polySphere(r=radius)
cmds.move(t_x,my_sphere, x=1 , absolute=1)
cmds.move( 0,0,0, [ my_sphere[0]+'.scalePivot',
my_sphere[0]+'.rotatePivot' ], xyz=1, absolute=1 )
cmds.rotate(rotation, my_sphere, y=1)
