Hi, I've created a toolbox with a bunch of buttons written in MEL. I'm wondering if I can port that window into Python without having to completely rewrite all the buttons, just re-code the GUI. And if so where should I go to learn how to create a Phython toolbox, I checked the Maya help and didn't really see a tutorial in…
Hey everyone! I’m a 3D artist specialized in architectural visualization and I’ve been in the industry for over 5 years. Recently, I’ve been thinking about diving into Python and I’m really curious about how it could help improve my workflow, productivity and income in Archviz. I know Python is widely used in the world,…
https://matiascodesal.com/blog/how-to-convert-maya-python-2-code-to-python-3/ there's a bit more detail on that link If you follow the instructions in the post above as written you'll be running the default windows python interpreter (whatever version that is) which won't have the 2to3 library installed. Instead you need…
Hello, Here is a video I made discussing the various types of Python available in Maya. And when to use which API. A lot of people still use cmds, and haven't discovered the advantages of Pymel yet. Hopefully this will help spreading the word. The official Autodesk intro is also great at comparing both of them. And I go…
You can learn Python without Maya / Blender / etc. All you need is the Python interpreter (e.g. version 2.7), which comes with a handy installer, and a text editor (Notepad.exe if anything else fails). Understanding a bit of computer science also sounds like a good thing, so the Udemy course may work for you. I would leave…
After a long downtime, Blur have re uploaded their Python plugin for Max/XSI. http://code.google.com/p/blur-dev/ This is awesome as not only can you access the whole maxscript API from python but the reverse is also available. Say you want to do some work with regular expressions in mxs or perhaps you want to make some…
Does someone know how to import multi sub directories with *.py and *.pyw files with python? For exemple to import my mel script lib I am using the following mel script code : // ================== global proc LoadLib (string $libsToLoad[]) { string $dir = `internalVar -userScriptDir` + "_SAMA_LIB/MEL/"; for ($lib in…
3dsmax supports python as well and just like in mel (maya) you can combine python with maxscript. I heard some developers saying that often they would code core functions and classes in python and with mel/maxscript/blender python they would then add the final interfaces or integration into the 3d tools. Just on a…
Hello everyone - I was hoping I could ask for some help loading a python script in maya. VERY SIMPLE question if you've done it before!! The script is pretty simple and it runs well on other computers, so I might just be missing a simple step. Supposedly, all that is necessary is to load it in the python tab of the script…
