Hey guys,

How would I create a matrix attribute which can hold input matrices?

Thank you.

Dilen.

You might be able to add it to a compound too.

Sorry I forgot to mention, I wanted it in maya API.

I am trying this :

tAttr.create("parentMatrix", "parentMatrix", OpenMaya.MFnData.kMatrix)

but this is not working

Found the answer.

It goes like this:

mAttr = OpenMaya.MFnTypedAttribute()

mAttr.create("matrixArray", "mtx", OpenMaya.MFnData.kMatrix)

Thanks anyways.
