[Download Script]<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is the third part to a three part tutorial on renaming objects in Maya. In the first installment<\/a> we established a collection of procedures and a simple UI that allows multiple objects to be renamed. In the second installment<\/a> we evolved this tool to utilize an custom sorting method and improved the UI.<\/p>\n The previous system for sorting while functional limited our ability to do more sophisticated renaming. We're going to address these issues and introduce a neat system for managing object lists:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We need to advance the existing tool to support the following:<\/p>\n Description:<\/p>\n This will take the input integer value and pad it with preceding zeros so that it fills a certain text length.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Details:<\/p>\n If the $inputInt is longer in string length then the specific $length it will return the original int as a string.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Description:<\/p>\n While none of my core or utility procedures rely on switching and querying selection I do a lot of interfacing with the user through their selection. So a unified selection query procedure is important. The long and flatten flags returns the objects with long paths and flattened individualized list respectively.<\/p>\n i.e.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n would return as<\/p>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Description:<\/p>\n Renames and object and returns the long form result.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Details:<\/p>\n As the default rename procedure doesn't always return the long version of the object we'll create this wrapper procedure to ensure it does.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Description:<\/p>\n Creates a new transform object with the given name.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Details:<\/p>\n I really, really, really (is that enough reallys?) dislike operations that change the selection (unless the operation is specifically intended to change the selection i.e. 'selectAllAnimatedObjects'). So I created this script to create a blank transform node with the '-skipSelect' option set to true. This replaces the more common 'group -empty' command.<\/p>\n \n\tThere seems to be some kind of sync bug however – I'm guessing it has something to do with Maya spawning this operation off onto a seperate thread. In anycase we need to add a 'refresh' call here to make sure Maya updates the scene before we continue.<\/p>\n \n\tTry commenting out the refresh and see what results you get from the script. You'll find the objects rename correctly however the resulting object list returned from the core renameObjects function is blank??! Some voodoo that's for sure, if anyone can shed some light on this I'd be very interested to hear.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Description:<\/p>\n Pretty quick and simple procedure that will step through a string array and remove any blank entries.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Description:<\/p>\n Returns the last component of a object name string (everything after the last pipe "|" character).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Details:<\/p>\n Previously I was utilizing the 'shortNameOf' embedded script function however I found that this will return a long form name of an object if there are duplicately named objects in the scene. <\/p>\n Description:<\/p>\n Again another simple procedure that will just remove the trailing numeric characters (0 to 9) from a string. <\/p>\n Description:<\/p>\n A procedure that processes a list of string inputs into a resulting string.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Details:<\/p>\n This is a pretty key procedure that allows us to process all the base, prefix, suffix and find\/replace options.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Description:<\/p>\n Filters through a given list of objects and removes objects matching the types found in $types. If $evalShapeChildren then each objects shape children are also evaluated for the filter even if they weren't directly selected.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Details:<\/p>\n This one is a little more tricky. Here we're quering types of objects and their children to establish a desired list of objects. \n\ti.e. most objects are built by a shape object (i.e. camera, mesh, locator) parented to a transform and so if you just filtered out all transforms with shapes you would filter out most objects.<\/p>\n \n\tSo through the $evalShapeChildres I can distinguish between directly included shape objects and those needing to be derived to establish the actual node type.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Description:<\/p>\n Gets the size of the given attribute<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Description:<\/p>\n This creates a new transform object, assigns it a temp name "__objPointer__" and add the multi message attribute we're going to use to connect the objects to.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Description:<\/p>\n Loops over the specified objects and one by one add them to the $pointer objects mutli message attribute.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Details:<\/p>\n Here we have the core method to maintaining the updated object list. This connects the 'message' attribute of each object to the multi message (message array) of another. <\/p>\n Description:<\/p>\n Basic procedure to fetch an object from a specific index in the given $pointer objects multi message attribute<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Description:<\/p>\n This iterates over the $pointer objects multi message attribute and collects all connected objects.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Description:<\/p>\n As before this is the entry point for the rename routine and so it handles the main iteration over the specified objects processing them and renaming as needed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Details:<\/p>\n Because of the new object message link system we don't need to keep track of or sort objects anymore. Without that worry we can process the given objects in the order they were passed to the procedure. While the method it self is a little more indirect the result is the increased simplicity of the rename operations.<\/p>\n However as you can see the procedure and it's arguments have become quite lengthy with all the added features and so becomes even more reliant on a solid UI to utilize the tool.<\/p>\n First off we have to parse the $typeMask string and break it up into each delinated type. The string will be 'tokenized' or seperated by each character found in the string ",; :\/\\|.-". So whereever there's one of those characters the tokenize function will create a new string element in the $filterTypes string array.<\/p>\n We then clean this array to remove any strings that are blank<\/p>\n We dont want the script to attempt to rename the shape nodes of a transform as renaming the transform will update the shape node names automatically. Then we remove all user specified 'types' from the list of objects<\/p>\n Now we've got a clean array of objects lets create the pointer holder object and add the objects to it<\/p>\n The inital part of the first loop is used to reset the names of the objects we plan to rename to something that wont clash with the specified new names. We need to rename the objects to some kind of temp name before we do the actual final rename so we can 'reuse' object names that might already be assigned to objects in the current target list of objects.<\/p>\n So without this if you had a list of objects:<\/p>\n and you attempt to rename them to the base name of "pCube" with a padding of 2 you'll 'clash' with the existing objects.<\/p>\n So as a result you'd get something like:<\/p>\n Rather then the desired:<\/p>\n Note: I'm using the 'getObjectFromPointer' procedure here rather then just quering the $filteredObjects array. This is because as soon as any rename or delete operations are executed on the objects the $filteredObjects array, which is uses full paths to the objects, will become invalid.<\/p>\n After safely assigning new names to these objects the next step is to find the best fit unique object name for each object. If padding is set it will loop until it finds a unique scene name if not it'll just assign the new name and let Maya's internal name clashing systems handle incrementation.<\/p>\n There's a safty mechanism built into the while loop to detect an infinate loop. Allthough this method is pretty safe it's still helpful to have some form of infinate loop protection – espicially when you're writing and debugging the script.<\/p>\n This $maxLoopCount is set to the total number of nodes in the scene – a slighty arbitary metric but accurate measure of an infinate loop in this while instance.<\/p>\n Therefore we can test if the loop count becomes greater then the total number of nodes in the scene and bail out of the rest of the script with an error letting the user know it failed.<\/p>\n The second loop will complete the actual rename operation.<\/p>\n Now the rename operations are all completed we can update the $renamedObjects variable with the new full path object strings<\/p>\n After some cleanup and debug print statements we return the new list of objects<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Description:<\/p>\n Front end for the rename objects tool.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Details:<\/p>\n Most of this is pretty standard UI stuff – built of and extended on the previous UI procedure. The thing to note is the assigning of the controls to a variable so that we can include them in the 'Apply' button's command.<\/p>\n It's also important to stress that because this UI is the only real intuitive way to use the rename tool it needs to be clean and fast. The use of annotation strings ("-ann") give a extra little bit of help to users confused about the usage of certain options.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n

<\/h2>\n

\n\tThe main reason it's tricky is that nodes inherit from other nodes and so you can get caught when an transform node's shape is a shape but also another type.<\/p>\nUtility: Object Pointer System<\/h3>\n
