How can I make the name of the shape node to have similar name as its parent node? (Assuming there is only 1 shape node per geometry/object)
For eg. parent_geo is called test_geo1
, however its shape node is testing_geo2Shape
instead of test_geo1Shape
I tried doing the following:
all = cmds.ls(sl=True, dag=True, shapes=True)
for shape in all:
prt = cmds.listRelatives(shape, parent=True)
for i in prt:
child = cmds.listRelatives(i, c = True)
for c in child:
cmds.rename(c, str(prt) + "Shape")
and I get some funky names such as u_test_geo1__Shape
etc
all = cmds.ls(sl=True, dag=True, shapes=True)
for shape in all:
'''
shape contain the dag path
exm.:
grp_a
grp_aShape
grp_b
grp_bShape
print cmds.ls('grp_a', dag=1, shapes=1)
>>('grp_a|grp_aShape', 'grp_b|grp_bShape')
now rename the object, we have already the dag path so
the input of the rename command is unique, you can also split the dag
path by '|'[0] as parent
'''
cmds.rename(shape, "{0}Shape".format(cmds.listRelatives(shape, parent=True)[0]))
tested hierarchy was like:
grp_a
shape grp_a
grp_b
same name like shape grp_c
grp_c
shape grp_c
grp_d
same name like shape grp_c
grp_e
same name like shape grp_c
select only the top grp
