An humble Maya Python API tutorial to voxelize your geometry.

[Dorian FEVRIER]

Hy all!

I've just over a very little (but I think fun) tutorial about how to reproduce geometry voxelization using Maya Python API.

It could be more optimized etc but I've done this quickly, just for fun, and would like to share with you.

The second version is more opimized and work with animation.

Regards,

Dorian

Nice tutorial

I have one suggestion about the usage of the voxelIdList

If you are using it as a lookup for the hash of previously seen items, using a list is going to be progressively slower and slower over time as the list grows, because doing "x in list" is O(n) complexity. You might want to use a set():

##

voxelIdSet = set()

...

if cubeId in voxelIdSet :

    continue

else:

    voxelIdSet.add(cubeId)

##

A set is O(1) complexity, so doing "x in set" will instantly find the item by its hash, as opposed to have to scan the entire list looking for an equality match.

Amazing! I've learn something today!

Thanks a lot!

I will add this! :)
