Pyhton Skydome samples

[NemoCourteix]

Hello !

I started scripting on arnold and i want to add samples to my skydome

import mtoa.utils

mtoa.utils.createLocator("aiSkyDomeLight", asLight=True)

Thanks so much for any help!

You can set the aiSamples attribute.

This is the MEL, but it's not hard to change that to Python:

setAttr "aiSkyDomeLightShape1.aiSamples" 2;

[NemoCourteix]

mtoa.utils.setAttr('aiSkyDomeLight.aiSamples',2)

don't work

[Stephen.Blair]

No, and it should not work.

setAttr is a Maya command

[NemoCourteix]

what is the arnold command for setAttr for add sample to 'aiSkyDomeLight ?

[Stephen.Blair]

There is no Arnold command, you should use the Maya command.

[NemoCourteix]

Thanks for your help but it's possible to add sample to my skydome in python and if it's possible what is the command with only python ?

[Stephen.Blair]

Same way you would an attribute on any Maya node.

import maya.cmds as cmds 
cmds.sphere( n="sphere" ) 
# Set a simple numeric value cmds.setAttr( 'sphere.translateX', 5 )
