URGENT : Merge with API (C++ and / or Python)

[justin hidair]

I'm going nut, I can no longer deal with the API, how the fuck Am I suppose to merge things of an existing mesh already instanced in MFnMesh() within a node, how!?

recreating the mesh is too, too redundant... I tried ..

adding polygons piece by piece with MFnMesh::addPolygon() ? I tried, and the mergeTolerance thing didn't even worked , tears are flowing..

I think your questions are less likely to be ignored if you glance over some of the suggestions on this page.

Just a thought.

I can certainly understand your frustration. I'm there like every day with the api, haha. Elaborate more on the problem you're having. I assume you're trying to merge vertices?

Im not sure what is your problem?

Sure learning the API takes time ( it can be worse: try to look at 3dsmax SDK which is really low level, with parts missing or unexposed...)

Basically your answer would be append components:

rip from your mesh array :

• points /
•  face index / 
• normals / or uv /
  

append them into one bigger array ( just be sure to add on the index array an offset / stride )

and later create with MFNMesh.create

Something pretty trivial to do, you just need more experience?
