Try operating Studio Library from Python. [Anim Save]

I will show you how to operate animation registration in Studio Library from Python.

Samples are available on the creator's GitHub, so it is recommended that you check this first. https://github.com/krathjen/studiolibrary/blob/master/src/studiolibrarymaya/README.md

environment

• python2.7
• maya2019.2
• studiolibrary2.7.1

Animation registration

If you want to save the animation of the selected rig to the D drive as Tanuki.anim.

script

# studiolibrary2.7.1
import os
import maya.cmds as cmds
from studiolibrarymaya import animitem

path    = os.path.join("D:/studiolibrary/root/dev", "Tanuki.anim")
objects = cmds.ls(selection=True) or []

# Saving an animation item
if objects :
    animitem.save(
        path, 
        objects         = objects, 
        frameRange      = (0, 40),
        fileType        = "mayaAscii",
        thumbnail       = "D:/studiolibrary/image/tibitanu.jpg ",
        comment         = "This is Tanuki",
        bakeConnected   = False,
        )

Explanation of flags used in save

• path

• str --Specify the save destination of the animation.

• D:/studiolibrary/xxx/xxx/hoge.anim

• objects

• [str, str, str, str] --Specify the object to register the animation. --The sample implementation saves the animation of the object selected in cmds.ls (sl = True).

• frameRange

• (int, int) --Specify the range of animation to be registered. --If you do not specify a number, the start and end of the animation will be detected automatically and registered with that value.

• fileType

• str --Specify the save format for the created Maya file. --MayaAScii or mayaBinary

• thumbnail

• str --Specify the file path of the image used for the thumbnail.

• D:/studiolibrary/image/tibitanu.jpg --When registering, the image will be copied to the .anim folder and an image called thumbnail.jpg will be automatically generated.

• comment

• str --This is a comment.

• bakeConnected ――I didn't know what kind of function it was, so I turned it off. I will add it as soon as I understand it.

Execution result

When you actually move it, it looks like this.

Chibitanu is good

For versions prior to studiolibrary 2.5.7

If you are using a version earlier than studiolibrary 2.5.7, the writing method is slightly different. Note that you need to instantiate the item once.

# studiolibrary2.5.7
import os
import maya.cmds as cmds
from studiolibrarymaya import animitem

path    = os.path.join("D:/studiolibrary/root/dev", "Tanuki.anim")
objects = cmds.ls(selection=True) or []

item = animitem.AnimItem(path)

# Saving an animation item
if objects :
    item.save(
        objects         = objects, 
        frameRange      = (0, 40),
        fileType        = "mayaAscii",
        bakeConnected   = False,
        )

Next time, I will write how to load animation in Studio Library using Python.
