I was expecting the following code to produce something similar to the default Add NURBS Surface object. It doesn't. Any ideas?
import bpy
from mathutils import Vector
surface_data = bpy.data.curves.new('wook', 'SURFACE')
surface_data.dimensions = '3D'
spline_0 = surface_data.splines.new(type='NURBS')
# 16 coordinates
points = [
Vector((-1.5, -1.5, 0.0, 1.0)), Vector((-1.5, -0.5, 0.0, 1.0)),
Vector((-1.5, 0.5, 0.0, 1.0)), Vector((-1.5, 1.5, 0.0, 1.0)),
Vector((-0.5, -1.5, 0.0, 1.0)), Vector((-0.5, -0.5, 1.0, 1.0)),
Vector((-0.5, 0.5, 1.0, 1.0)), Vector((-0.5, 1.5, 0.0, 1.0)),
Vector((0.5, -1.5, 0.0, 1.0)), Vector((0.5, -0.5, 1.0, 1.0)),
Vector((0.5, 0.5, 1.0, 1.0)), Vector((0.5, 1.5, 0.0, 1.0)),
Vector((1.5, -1.5, 0.0, 1.0)), Vector((1.5, -0.5, 0.0, 1.0)),
Vector((1.5, 0.5, 0.0, 1.0)), Vector((1.5, 1.5, 0.0, 1.0))
]
spline_0.points.add(15) # already has a a default zero vector
for p, new_co in zip(spline_0.points, points):
p.co = new_co
# 4*4 = 16 points
# spline_0.point_count_u = 4 # read only :(
# spline_0.point_count_v = 4 # read only :(
spline_0.order_v = 4
spline_0.order_u = 4
spline_0.resolution_v= 4
spline_0.resolution_u = 4
surface_object = bpy.data.objects.new('NURBS_OBJ', surface_data)
scene = bpy.context.scene
scene.objects.link(surface_object)
the only way I got this to work was by using bpy.ops to make_segments of separately created nurbs, which isn't too bad but may not be ideal
