Hi,

I like to access parameters (like curve length) in expressions. I can’t actually do this. Anybody would help?

Thanks,

Jester

Hi,
you cannot directly access the curve length value from an expression. You’ll need to write a SCOP to read the value and write it to a custom parameter, which you’ll then be able to link to an expression. Make sure that your SCOP has ‘Always evaluate’ enabled.

Thanks a lot! I’ll do that

hello guys… i would need to do that as well.... but i am not a TD or programmer. Is by any chances one of you could get me through the process of doing the scripted operator and link to the custom param?…

thanks for your time

There’s some pretty good intro to SCOPS in the docs as well.

Hey, no problem.
Not in NYC anymore, I’m afraid (I should update my profile!), but I still call it home. Xvivo scientific animation is where I drink my cappuccino these days.
