Clean Up, and Next.

I did the clean up the code a little bit, and succeeded to remove the used temporary 'mygroup'.

# -- Set Up(START) ------------------------------------------> 
# Now we want to get the active object
# To do this we go through bpy.context... because that is basicly "what you are working on right now"
# bpy.data could work too, but then you'd need to do more work to find your current active object
ob = bpy.context.active_object


# A new trick... lets go into edit mode and deselect everything ('SELECT' works too)
bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode='EDIT')
bpy.ops.mesh.select_all(action='DESELECT')


# Get the screen areas we are working in right now
areas = bpy.context.screen.areas


# Loop through all the areas
for area in areas:


# See if the current area is a 3D view
if area.type == 'VIEW_3D':


# Set the pivot point to individual origins
area.active_space.pivot_point = 'INDIVIDUAL_ORIGINS'


# -- Set Up(END) ------------------------------------------< 


# Finally, generate all parts!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------->


# spine(area, randomness dist, scale, rot) 
spine('back', 0.1, 0.3, 0.5)
# legs(area) 
legs('leg')
legs('spineTop')

</CODE>

The result of this code is this.


And now, I'd like to bend the legs. In a leg making sequence, get the center pos of a selected face, and decide the rot direction [+] or [-] by X pos. So, how to get the center pos of a selected face?

P.S. With Dolf's help, the problem was solved!

<CODE>

# legStep ---------------------------------------->
def legStep(dr, sr, rr):
bpy.ops.transform.shrink_fatten(value=-dr, mirror=False, proportional='DISABLED', proportional_edit_falloff='SMOOTH', proportional_size=1, snap=False, snap_target='CLOSEST', snap_point=(0, 0, 0), snap_align=False, snap_normal=(0, 0, 0), release_confirm=False)
bpy.ops.transform.resize(value=(sr, sr, sr), constraint_axis=(False, False, False), constraint_orientation='GLOBAL', mirror=False, proportional='DISABLED', proportional_edit_falloff='SMOOTH', proportional_size=0.0762767, snap=False, snap_target='CLOSEST', snap_point=(0, 0, 0), snap_align=False, snap_normal=(0, 0, 0), texture_space=False, release_confirm=False)\
# Get the mesh
me = ob.data
# Loop through the faces to find the center
for f in me.faces:
if f.select == True:
center = f.center
if center[0] > 0.0:
rotDir = 1.0
else:
rotDir = -1.0
bpy.ops.transform.rotate(value=(rr*rotDir,), axis=(-0, 1, -3.42285e-08), constraint_axis=(False, False, False), constraint_orientation='GLOBAL', mirror=False, proportional='DISABLED', proportional_edit_falloff='SMOOTH', proportional_size=0.0762767, snap=False, snap_target='CLOSEST', snap_point=(0, 0, 0), snap_align=False, snap_normal=(0, 0, 0), release_confirm=False)

</CODE>

And, set the leg shape parameter to this.

<CODE>

# Leg Shape
step = 5
legDist = [0.1, 0.4, 0.02, 0.02, 0.3]
legScale = [0.5, 2.0, 0.8, 1.2, 0.2]
legRot = [-0.3, 0.5, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]

</CODE>

The result is,


It's very very good!  \(^o^)/
