Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Using expressions on multiple objects
Basically what I am after is a way of running an expression on multiple objects, for instance...
polySphere -name "ball";
expression -s "ball.translateX = time;" -o pSphere1 -ae 1 -uc all ;
will make the ball head in the X direction over time, but how would I be able to select multiple objects and giving each of them this expression, as the expression above is only going to work on the first object.
Many thanks in advance as this is bugging me loads
Chris

//give expression to all selected
for($n in `ls -sl`){
expression -s ($n + ".translateX = time;") -o $n -ae 1 -uc all ;
}
Cheers,
Chris
