Last active July 5, 2017 14:16

Python: Collect attribute from a list of objects where attribute exists

existing_names = [getattr(x, "name", "") for x in nodes if type(x).__name__ == node_class]

Created December 3, 2015 13:22

Python: Returns flat list of objects from recursive function

	def get_nodes(items=[], ages=[]):
	myresults = []
	print "Searching..."
	# pseudo code
	for item in items:
	if item.age in ages:
	print "\t","valid age"

JokerMartini / Align Node To Vector | .ms

Created November 19, 2015 15:21

	--Bobo: The other way would be to use MatrixFromNormal, set the .row4 to the position of the object and assign to the .transform property.

	(
	s = sphere pos:[10,20,30]
	t = teapot radius:5
	theMesh = snapshotasmesh s
	for f = 1 to theMesh.numfaces do
