Get the scene name, material count and a page of objects (sorted by name). By default lists top-level objects only and leaves out Maya's default cameras. name_filter takes Maya wildcards, e.g. "spike_*". If "truncated" is true, there are more objects: call again with offset=next_offset. Set top_level_only=false to include objects inside groups. limit is 1-500.

Get detailed information about a specific Maya object: transforms, bounding box, materials, hierarchy.

Capture the active Maya viewport as a PNG image. The longer side is scaled to max_size.

Execute arbitrary Python code inside Maya. cmds (maya.cmds) is pre-imported. Returns printed output, and the value of the last line if it is an expression (like the Script Editor). On errors, returns the traceback with line numbers.

Get the currently selected objects in Maya.

Create a Maya object. object_type: cube, sphere, plane, cylinder, cone, torus, camera, point_light, directional_light, spot_light. Returns the created object name.

Delete one or more Maya objects by name. names is a list of object names.

Duplicate a Maya object. Optionally rename the duplicate.

Rename a Maya object.

Parent a child object to a parent. Pass parent=null to unparent (move to world).

Set world-space translation [x,y,z], rotation [rx,ry,rz] (degrees), and/or scale [sx,sy,sz] on an object. All parameters are optional — only the ones provided will be changed.

Get world-space translation, rotation, and scale of a Maya object.

Create a Maya material/shader and its shading group. material_type: lambert, blinn, phong, standardSurface, aiStandardSurface.

Assign a material to one or more objects. object_names is a list.

List all materials in the current Maya scene.

Set a property on a Maya material. For colors pass [r,g,b] (0-1 range). Examples: attribute='color' value=[1,0,0] for red, attribute='transparency' value=[0.5,0.5,0.5].

Get the value of an attribute on a Maya node. Example: node='pCube1', attribute='tx'.

Set the value of an attribute on a Maya node. Pass lists for multi-component attrs.

List attributes on a Maya node. Set keyable=true to list only keyable attributes.

Render the current Maya scene with Arnold or Maya Software (whichever is active) and return it as a PNG. width/height override the resolution for this render only. output_path is where to save the render.

Configure Maya render settings. renderer examples: 'mayaSoftware', 'arnold', 'vray' (render_scene supports 'arnold' and 'mayaSoftware').

Export the scene or selection. export_type: ma, mb, fbx, obj, abc (Alembic). Set selected_only=true to export only selected objects.

Import a file into Maya. import_type auto-detected from extension if not specified. Supported: ma, mb, fbx, obj, abc.
