Convert To Maya Instances Command

[oliver_cameron]

Hello everyone,
Is there a way to get which command this button ins executing under the hood?
I tried with echo all commands on, but nothing related to the command is there.

I'm asking because I would like to create a script to bake all my chaosScatters in a single press of a button.

Thank you in advance.

Hi, oliver_cameron!

The command is vrayBakeScatterInstances and it requires a Scatter shape as an argument.
We'll add the following examples on the Chaos Scatter documentation page shortly. Thanks for raising the question!

Works in MEL

vrayBakeScatterInstances ChaosScatterShape1

And Python

maya.cmds.vrayBakeScatterInstances('ChaosScatterShape1' )​

Just bare in mind that converting large number of instances may be slow.
