Re: [Maya-Python] Desperately trying to run matplotlib

This topic is so common it really needs to be highlighted somewhere. Maybe as a new Maya splash screen? xD [image: notcompatible] The problem though is that many packages *are* compatible, it’s only the compiled packages that are not. So it’s understandable that it keeps getting confused. Can

Re: [Maya-Python] maya API ?? reading an external json file

what would I use to allow the plugin to read an external user specified file, either a txt or json? You could make a string attribute on the node, and set MFnAttribute::isUsedAsFilename = true

Re: [Maya-Python] Creating .bat file (launcher) for maya

I doubt you’d need a tutorial, what are you looking for the bat to do? Here’s an example, along with a few environment variables. - https://github.com/mottosso/Maya-Environment-Variables *maya2020.bat* @echo off set MAYA_DISABLE_CIP=1set MAYA_DISABLE_CER=1set MAYA_DISABLE_CLIC_IPM=1 ::

Re: [Maya-Python] Maya 2022 and output windows

I recently asked this very same question on the Autodesk forums, and yes, the solution is to simply call flush() afterwards. :D sys.__stdout__.write("Hello world!") sys.__stdout__.flush() It’s available and harmless in Python 2 as well. -

Re: [Maya-Python] numpy errors fixed when reintializing maya

Did you happen to get NumPy from PyPI, via pip install? There was a thread here about it not long ago, but the bottom line is if you haven’t got a version compiled specifically for your version of Maya, it won’t behave. On Fri, 30 Apr 2021 at 18:20, Rudi Hammad wrote: > I'll let you know when

[Maya-Python] Ctrl + P

Sorry for the cryptic title, but this has eluded me for years and I can never remember the hotkey for this hidden but surprisingly useful little widget that pops up in Maya whenever you hit Ctrl + P when I actually need it. So there, crystallised and written into the stone that is the internets.

If I had any hair, I would have been pulling it out if it wasn’t for this post. Thank you from the future! :D The minor difference was that I had to parent my QTreeWidgetItem to the QTreeWidget, and each child item to its parent item. Something I had assumed happened automatically when you add an

Re: [Maya-Python] C++ speed/efficiency in Maya

In many cases, MEL should be faster than pure python I thought so too! But to my great surprise, for a lot of common operations - like createNode, getAttr and setAttr - MEL was consisteny *significantly slower* than cmds. - https://github.com/mottosso/cmdx#timings These were done in Maya

Re: [Maya-Python] Maya VP2 Rendering engine

Not in my experience, but my understanding is that it's meant to for game developers whose shaders are written for DirectX. For when you want an exact replica of an asset between game engine (rendering with DirectX shaders) in Maya. I'd be surprised if you found a performance difference between
