Stretch Node Maya API Plugin Comparisons

As mentioned in a previous post I had some woes querying the matrix data in my plugin. I did some simplified tests and have no implemented these tests into the node. The video below demonstrates a comparison between the matrix plug node and the transform plug node.

Stretch Node Python API Plugin demo from Tim Forbes on Vimeo.

Test stretch node plugin using matrix connections rather than channel connections. This video compares two test plugins briefly. One plugin using Matrix connections, the other using Transform channel connections. This is a test purely to look at different types of data handling and how I can use Mayas API to simplify node graphs for common rigging techniques.
