Hi Nicolas, Remarks here are not aimed at you since you're already a pymel user, but more to try and understand what could keep others from using it.
One thing I don't understand is since it's open source why would you have to rewrite anything even if development stopped on pymel? You could just keep your own repository of it's source and maintain it to your needs (possibly only the parts you need if you feel you are not needing all of it). Of course you can write your own library on top of pure Maya Python but given some time you'll probably end up with something similar to pymel, with the same requirement to maintain it yourself. Now I would understand people being concerned about design decisions in pymel that don't fit the way they'd do things as a reason not to use it. But since it's open source and it has an active mail list / group, you can express these concerns here and suggest alternative designs. Olivier PS : do you already have a place in mind that you're going to after Duboi? Otherwise you can mail me off list if you want to check open positions at Attitude Nicolas DUMAY wrote: > Thanks a lot (^ ^ ) I can say the same about your works... > > 2009/6/11, Chad Dombrova <[email protected]>: > >> thanks for the info nicholas. you guys did great work on underworld 3. >> >> -chad >> >> >> On Jun 11, 2009, at 12:31 AM, Nicolas DUMAY wrote: >> >> >>> Hi!
