Mark Jackson takes a look at Red9’s MetaData API, as part of the Red9 Studio Pack which will represent a multi part tutorial in what the MetaData API is and what it can be used for.
This is the first of what will be a series of videos that go through the MetaData API concepts in Red9
Mark discusses the Attribute Handlers in the MetaData API which will go into the attribute management of the class and how it can be used to set and manage any attribute off of any Maya Node in a completely seemless Python mannor. The MetaClass API for Maya was created to wrap and manage data in Maya MetaNode system, and recently, updated to version 1.29 which sees the addition of a new CameraTracker feature.
