Query "animCurveUL" node

[Blackwell ST]

Been stuck on this problem for a few days. I'm trying to figure out a way to query an "animCurveUL" node's values within "Anim Curve Attributes".

[Marcus Ottosson]

API to the rescue!

from maya.api import OpenMaya as om, OpenMayaAnim as oma

sel = om.MSelectionList()
sel.add("pCube1_translateY")
mobj = sel.getDependNode(0)

fn = oma.MFnAnimCurve(mobj)

for index in range(fn.numKeys):
    # Input == Time, which is returned in MTime format.
    # This converts it to a more familiar frame number
    frame = om.MTime(fn.input(index)).value

    # Values may also need to be converted to UI units, in this case
    # they are `kDistance` which is the same in both API and (default) UI unit
    value = fn.value(index)

    print("%s: %s" % (frame, value))

Some more examples of usage here:

Omg, thank you so much. I need to look into this Maya.API module more. Seems to have more options than maya.cmds

[Marcus Ottosson]

Indeed it does, if you wanted to find those tangent type values you can find those there too.

Here's the documentation page for that particular so-called "function set".

You could also use pymel , the AnimCurve class is just  derived from  openMaya code anyway. Apologies for using your example code Marcus : )

import pymel.core as pm

pm.select("pCube1_translateY")
animCurve = pm.selected()[0]

for index in range(animCurve.numKeys()):
    frame = animCurve.getTime(index)
    value = animCurve.getValue(index)

    print("%s: %s" % (frame, value))

PyMEL? The power of Christ compels thee!

Thanks a bunch dude. You guys are awesome. 

So Pymel is a mixture of maya.cmds and openMaya? Curious to know why Autodesk decided to have 3 different options and not just Pymel. I'm really digging pymel after you guys mentioned

First there was no python and only Mel. Then there were python cmds and python bindings to the OpenMaya SDK. PyMel was written by Luma and eventually it ended up being bundled with Maya distributions.
