When you say a node editor that you " could manipulate just like a node in a 2d space", are you meaning like a node graph? If so, I don't think the Maya native ui provides you with that high level capability. You talked about a tree view, but that wouldn't have free 2d positioning. What does that treeView not have, that you require for your goal? Are these Maya nodes you speak of, or "node" in the generic sense of a node graph? When you say they would run arbitrary commands when clicked on, can you give a workflow example? Maybe that would better help the group to offer suggestions.
The Maya native UI is very high level, and only does exactly what each limited api descriptions says, with no ability to extend them (as you would in Qt) On Sun, 17 May 2015 9:16 AM <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I'd like to create own node editor using python or mel.
