Necro Threading/derailing. I'm trying to access the sRGB Color Space checkbox via python. Since it's not a normal subroutine, it's rather some setting for the texture itself I'm not sure how to do that? Specifically, I'm editing the example Create Materials from Images script. I tried adding it as one of the "Fields" in…
Could there be an error in the command that I run? I take whole this code and run: import maya.cmds as cmds from CreasePlus import CreasePlusMain CreasePlusMain.start() if not cmds.pluginInfo("CreasePlusNodes", q=True, loaded=True): cmds.loadPlugin("CreasePlusNodes.py") # attach it as python script / runtime command to…
I don't think you'd be able to access layers in .psd files from scripts outside of PS. It would be possible to write a script which saves to .tga, opens PS, opens each .tga in separate layers, deletes .tga files and asks you to save the .psd. Not sure how to send the information from python to java script though.. But I…
Have you considered using Python. It's really is excellent for this type of thing. I forced myself to start using python about 2 years ago and have not regretted it. mainStr = "|Render|Props_Crate_001.f[5]"#split the string into a array/list using '.' as the argumentsplitMe = mainStr.split('.')print splitMe#splice out the…
This might be true even though for what you need you might find LT good enough. Most troubles that you could get down the road is regarding scripts, whether that is simple MEL scripts or Python. Even though LT suports MEL, lots of people are usually making scripts in full Maya and it can happen using under the hood stuff…
Griffin is a very kind hearted and brave eagle. He was hit by a Python while trying to save his group leader Harpy. He tried his best and almost killed that Python to save Harpy. In his fight he lost his left leg and got injured on wings. He tried to fly and reach his cave but on the way he was hit by a tree and fell onto…
Just started using this yesterday. Definitely an essential toolset if I could ever recommend one. Two questions; is it possible to dock the nightshade UV editor as part of a saved layout rather than have it as a separate window? Also, if I accidentally close the nightshade UV editor, I'm unable to bring it back via the…
What i found has worked great is actually just make some tools as standalone apps. Python can talk to PS very well over the com interface, with all the same stuff available as the native JS api, than after that i can use something like pySide to use qt4.x as my UI. Im pretty sure the guys at quxiel do the same, where they…
3d packages only really take about a week to learn if you got good modeling skills so switching is not a big deal. It seems a lot of studios use Maya since pymel and python make it so easy to integrate Maya into a larger workflow. I think Max now having python will do the same for the Max community too since it is easier…
Most people trying to get into scripting in Maya (or of any kind really) usually have a big problem knowing where to start. Yes, you have the official documentation here: http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/maya2013/en_us/Commands/ ...but just going with that is like getting an English-Mandarin dictionary and then…
