Python randomly selects Maya scene elements

Prior to the company's participation in a project with foreign cooperation, the need for dynamic random selection of some objects in the scene, was used Houdini node +hscript solved;

A similar effect was written in Maya today with a simple and elegant python, The code is as follows:

Import Maya.cmds as MC Import Random def seltest ():    mc.select (alldagobjects=1)    = Mc.ls (sl=True)    = len (SEL)     # Print sel    Rand = Random.sample (SEL, G)    Mc.select (rand, R=1) seltest ()

Operating effect:

This code needs to use Python's random module, but Maya's Commandspython help does not have this module, fortunately we can still call directly from the Python library;

Import Random

There are many functions of the Ramdom module, which can be sampled by sample ().

Add the effect to the random material with this code another time.
