Maya python (or MEL) select objects

Question

I need select all objects in Maya with name "shd" and after that I need assigned to them specific material.

I don't know how to do that because when I wrote: select -r "shd"; it send me the message: More than one object matches name: shd //

So maybe I should select them one by one in some for loop or something. I am 3D artist so sorry for the lame question.

Answer 1

you have multiple meshes named shd, you will end with an error. You might want to use the command :

shd = cmds.ls('shd', long=True)
cmds.select(shd)

Answer 2

您可以使用select -r "shd*"来选择名称以 "shd" 表示的所有对象。
