Loading icons in window using Mel Maya 2015
Hello folks!
I am building a quick tool in Maya 2015 where you can import 3d models into your viewport. the method works by creating snapshots of your model and create an obj of it. And then load the model by clicking its icon.
I have found a way to create snapshots of your model and save it into disk. Now the problem is how to load the icons into your window layout using MEL. I had an idea of using text file to store information so it could be easy, but its kind of teadious.
So im trying to find a method or code snippet to load effectively icons to your window.
any hint or code snippet would be regarded.
I can also give away my current code if you want.
