Re: [Maya-Python] Re: Help w/Var Assignment inside a Class
Since you stated you are trying to write the most efficient code using the best coding practices, you absolutely should not use vars() or globals() for this purpose. I really think its poor habit to pass in globals unless they are some kind of constant maybe, or environment setting. Like say, a DEBUG flag. Even then I still think globals are kinda evil. Everything should always get set up either through your __init__ in the class, or by setting class level attributes once when the script sets up. Excerpt on vars(): http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html Note The returned dictionary should not be modified: the effects on the corresponding symbol table are undefined. [3] vars() and globals() are kind of there for more advanced uses, say where you are doing dynamic building of classes or whatnot. Its really unnecessary in this case. One reason globals are really evil if misused is because you can't always see where objects came from. They were created somewhere else outside the current body of code. All the data that is specifically relevant to that class should live in that class, and you can wrap it up nicely however you want. Since your create() method doesnt return anything, you will need to use self.lidControls to allow the data to live after create() is done. The proper way to do this is to have all your important containers that need to be built up and remembered, inside your __init__, as you have it in this example. Is lidControls something the user will access again after running create(). You can wrap it up nicer if you want with a getter. def getControl(self, name): return self.lidControls.get(name, ) Are these controls always constant? ['uprLid', 'lwrLid','lwrLidTrack', 'lidControls['uprLidTrack']','uprLidRef','lidRig'] If so, I can see why you were trying to make them attributes. Then you are right that you could do setattr() if you want, in order to access them as: lidRigObj.uprLid -- justin On Aug 21, 2011, at 7:55 AM, PixelMuncher wrote: @ Justin The script is for creating an eyelid rig which tracks the movement of an eyeball (based on Stop Staring 3rd Ed.). I'm not a professional coder but I like to write tools for my own use. I've been using Python for about a year (its my favorite language to date). This is the first time I'm using classes in my coding, so its a learning experience. I try to write the most efficient code and use best coding practices. The problem I encountered was how use a list to create nodes and assign them to vars for further processing. I asked around on a couple of forums for how to accomplish this. The reason I thought of using vars is they are easy to read in the code. I've already learned that 'vars()/globals()' is not the way to go for a few reasons. Others have also suggested using a dictionary, which is what I ended up doing. Here are the solutions that have worked: --- CODE -- EyeRig.py class lidRig(object): def __init__(self): print 'lidRig - For instructions, run EyeRig.ildRig().useage()' self.lidControls = dict() def useage(self): print lidRigUseage,'\n',UDAttrRemove def create (self, lidRigPrefix, uprLidJoint, lwrLidJoint, eyeParent, faceControl, lidControls2Make): # lidControls2Make vars are ['uprLid', 'lwrLid','lwrLidTrack', 'lidControls['uprLidTrack']','uprLidRef','lidRig'] controlNode = 'loc' # For each item in the 'lidControls2Make' list, create a group or locator and add it to the list of controllers for control in lidControls2Make: # Create group/locator. Use dictionary to store reference based on name of control: if controlNode == 'group': self.lidControls[control] = cmds.group(em = 1, n= '%s_ %s' % (lidRigPrefix, control)) else: self.lidControls[control] = cmds.spaceLocator(n= '%s_ %s' % (lidRigPrefix, control))[0] print 'Control: %s. Object: %s' %(control, self.lidControls[control]) # uprLid controller will be parented under lwrLid controller w/ max rotation set to prevent passing thru lower lid # Set the max XRot of the uprLid to 0: cmds.transformLimits(self.lidControls['uprLid'],rx=(-45, 0),erx=(0, 1))# Need to set both limits, but erx unsets the min (first value) # Setup Hierarchy of controllers cmds.parent (self.lidControls['uprLid'],self.lidControls['lwrLid']) cmds.parent (self.lidControls['lwrLid'],self.lidControls['lwrLidTrack']) ... END --- What I like about Chris' approach is that referencing the var is a bit easier to write than the dictionary: --- CODE --- for control in lidControls2Make: self.lidControls[control] = cmds.group(em = 1, n= '%s_%s' % (lidRigPrefix, control)) # Setup
Re: [Maya-Python] Transfering weights from many to one
I cant say I know anything specifically about this process, but from a
general api perspective, it seems that specifying multiple source arguments
as an array isn't documented in either the MEL or the python api docs.
What the docs do say is that it does expect source and destination flags as
string values. Also in the examples, it refers to using
the createSkinCluster mel command for combining multiple pieces of geometry
into a skinCluster, which is then used as the source value.
Have you tried selecting your source meshes, using createSkinCluster, and
then passing that as the string value for *sourceSkin?*
Here is the snippet from the python api docs:
... create geometry ..
... select them ...
maya.mel.eval('createSkinCluster -mi 5 -dr 4' )
cmds.copySkinWeights( ss='skinCluster1', ds='skinCluster2', noMirror=True )

In cases where I want to transfer weights from many separate meshes to a

$sourceMeshes - an array of meshes
$targetMesh - single target mesh

-influenceAssociation name $sourceMeshes $targetMesh;
I am unable to perform the same command using Maya.cmds or PyMel (or at
least not with the same outcome) :
copySkinWeights([sourceMeshes, targetMesh],
surfaceAssociation='closestPoint', influenceAssociation='name') - Works but
the result is not accurate.
The mel version will end up being accurate while the PyMel, maya.cmds (even
mel.copySkinWeights) are not, which leads me to believe that something is
messed up with my formatting or I've come across a bug.
If you use the ss= and ds= flags, there seems to be no way of going from
multiple to a single.
Has anyone come across this?

Re: [Maya-Python] Re: nub question - passing arguments as functions
No Vordok that still would not work. Daves example is the direction he would need to go. In the origin question, the example makes no real association with the item and the item list. Also, if you pass a function as the default arg like that, it will evaluate only once when the func is defined. For wanting to have an arg that uses a default function as its value you could do: def myFunc(value=None): if value is None: value = someFunction() But yes, really the issue is what Dave addresses by creating classes where a parent class stores the child classes and also sets a reference to itself ( the parent) when adding in a child.

Re: [Maya-Python] Re: Which editor do you use?
I've never felt a need to have the telnet commands to maya functionality working. I tried it once with low commitment and the script didnt work anymore and I didnt care enough to look onto it. Whether I use eclipse+pydev, or coda, or whatever, I usually just have a small snippet in the maya script editor like this: import myNewTool; reload(myNewTool); myNewTool.Run() # or whatever launches my script and I just select and hit return. I used to have completion set up in eclipse, but that was only important to me when I was learning the api. Now, I just have the python commands reference page up and I look at it. Though, using eclipse for autocompletion is really nice when you are developing pyqt apps for maya, since qt has way more classes and tons of constants and whatnot. So it is faster than drilling down through their api doc.

Re: [Maya-Python] Re: how to install SIP for python on MAC
That would work if he only wanted to get pyqt independently running as a whole. But assuming he wants to use pyqt inside maya (otherwise it wouldnt make sense to ask here), you have to use specific versions and build steps for it to link properly and work. My blog was written for maya 2011. For 2012 there are some updated version numbers for qt, sip, pyqt. I should update my blog with that info.

Re: [Maya-Python] Re: Announcing: Intro to Python for Maya
I appreciate the interest! I'm still working out the outline for vol.2. Hopefully I can get it finished with all the example ideas within a week, and then record. So maybe 2 weeks. The interesting challenge is trying to determine where to draw the line between intermediate and advanced concepts. Im not so much a maya artist as I am a developer and compositor, so sometimes I think my idea of level 2 vs 3 isnt always compatible with a hard core 3d artists idea. A question for those interested... I received an email with someones feedback about feeling I had made a mistake in not teaching via pymel. My response was that, as I even address in the video, pymel is slower, 3rd party, and prevents you from learning the direct commands and api syntax. But its good for producing simpler code with easier access to functionality. Is pymel something you would prefer to learn for accessing the api, as opposed to doing it directly with OpenMaya calls? My feeling is that you should learn the real api first, and then optionally choose to use an abstraction layer later under the right circumstances.

Re: [Maya-Python] What's faster, API(2) or native Python?
I dont think its an across the board one way or the other answer. The maya api classes are all wrappers around C++ code, so they should be pretty fast, whereas not every python standard library module is a C extension. You can do case-by-case time tests if you want, but if the maya api provides the functionality you can probably be sure its at least AS fast. Unless their C code is not as optimized as the python C extension.

It's an old joke that probably came from the vi community: Emacs is a great operating system. Too bad it doesn't have a decent text editor. But there's some truth to it. Emacs was a pretty huge executable back in the day- another old joke is that Emacs stands for Eleven Megs and constantly swapping, though that joke doesn't make much sense anymore. But Emacs is also very programmable and really hardcore Emacs users use it to do almost everything. It has a web browser, an email client, an irc client, a newsreader, modes for interacting with various source control systems, Tetris, a few chatbots, including Eliza and Zippy the Pinhead (who you can make converse with each other if it's a really slow day at the office,) etc. As Xavier Ho points out you can open a system shell in an Emacs buffer. And Emacs is very programmable, if you don't mind the idiosyncracies of Emacs Lisp. I wind up developing on Windows, Mac, and Linux, and there was a time when I used a couple of other operating systems pretty regularly. Treating Emacs like an OS as much as I can helps to soften the blow of moving from platform to platform, though I'm definitely not a really hardcore Emacs user. Among other things, I'm not able to grow a luxurious enough beard to qualify ;). I do think that Emacs is a decent text editor, but I sometimes suspect that vi might be a better one. And I'm pretty sure vi is less likely to give you an RSI than Emacs is. Emacs does have an answer to this though- there is a mode for emacs (more than one actually, I think,) that makes Emacs's text editing a lot like vi's.

Re: [Maya-Python] How to embed a modelPanel into a Qt Layout
Hah, ya I had a feeling. Now that I am home, I was able to write out an example: https://gist.github.com/1381489 Its more complicated because you have to use sip and the MQtUtil function to translate between maya node paths, and QObjects/QWidgets Here is what the script is doing: 1. Create the layout in PyQt 2. Unwrap it from python into a pointer using sip 3. use the pointer to get the full maya node path 4. set it as the UI parent Then you create the model panel using the commands module 1. Get a pointer to the underlying widget of the model panel 2. wrap that into a python QObject using sip 3. Add that new object into your layout. I also added a repaint in the show() method for the QDialog because maya likes to really lag in repainting its interface sometimes, so you wouldnt see the camera redrawn until you interacted with it otherwise. Let me know if any of that example is unclear. Maybe there is a better way to do this, but this way works fine. -- justin On Nov 20, 2011, at 6:18 PM, 张宇 wrote: Thanks for your reply Justin, I am using pyqt not just the qtDesigner, how to do that with pyqt?

And I have a camera in my scene called myCamera Sometimes the new maya ui kinda lags in refreshing itself, so you would have to interact with the new dialog sometimes to get the camera to redraw. Are you trying to do this via PyQt?

Re: [Maya-Python] How to embed a modelPanel into a Qt Layout
@Panupat Actually, no I don't go into this specifically in my PyQt chapter. You do however see the example of how to use sip and MQtUtil to get the reference to the Maya MainWindow. I was trying really hard not to cross a certain threshold of difficulty in my examples for that video, not to mention that the PyQt section was considered a bonus chapter. I would love to make another video completely dedicated to PyQt at some point and spend much more time on the finer details. @Kurian Thats pretty strange. Its complaining that a QDialog doesn't want to accept a 'parent' argument in its init. Out of curiosity, what version of PyQt are you using? from PyQt4 import QtCore; print QtCore.PYQT_VERSION_STR And this is for Maya 2012? I updated the example to not pass in the parent by keyword, but rather by just the 1st argument: Line 14:super(MyDialog, self).__init__(parent, **kwargs) See if that makes a difference for you? It still seems strange to me. Even Qt 4.5.x (which is the version maya 2011 uses) accepts that form of an __init__ signature. Interested to know if that small change fixes your problem. -- justin On Nov 20, 2011, at 9:20 PM, Kurian O.S wrote: Hi Justin, thanks for the example man , this is so cool and when I try to run , I got this # Error: 'parent' is not a Qt property or a signal # Traceback (most recent call last): # File maya console, line 9, in module # File maya console, line 14, in __init__ # AttributeError: 'parent' is not a Qt property or a signal # any idea ?

Create the layout in PyQt 2. Unwrap it from python into a pointer using sip 3. use the pointer to get the full maya node path 4. set it as the UI parent Then you create the model panel using the commands module 1. Get a pointer to the underlying widget of the model panel 2. wrap that into a python QObject using sip 3. Add that new object into your layout. I also added a repaint in the show() method for the QDialog because maya likes to really lag in repainting its interface sometimes, so you wouldnt see the camera redrawn until you interacted with it otherwise. Let me know if any of that example is unclear.

And I have a camera in my scene called myCamera Sometimes the new maya ui kinda lags in refreshing itself, so you would have to interact with the new dialog sometimes to get the camera to redraw.

Re: [Maya-Python] Testing a QInputDialog with QTest
How are you calling you QInputDialog? My guess is that you are using the static convenience methods (or exec_) which cause your dialog to become modal, and thus block the main application. What you probably want to do is: self.d = QInputDialog(self) self.d.setModal(False) self.d.show() At this point you can either decide to set a connection to a slot to handle when the window is closed, or subclass it and overload your own accept() method. # setting a connection self.d.accepted.connect(handleInputMethod) def handleInputMethod(self): print self.d.textValue() The static methods are good for when you don't need any special access or functionality from the dialog, as it creates it behind the scenes, blocks, and just returns the value and whether it was accepted or rejected.

Re: [Maya-Python] Re: Problem Executing Backburner from Python
Unfortunately I dont have any experience with Backburner submissions, since I
have never used it in a pipeline other than submitting to it from a gui.
Here is an example of a preRender script:
In file /network/path/to/myPreRender.mel:
global proc doStuff()
{
// all your preRender Stuff here
}
Then in your render command:
cmdjob -preRender source /network/path/to/myPreRender.mel; doStuff();
But from your latest information, it seems you have other problems as well,
such as defining your frame ranges.
Since I again don't know much about backburner I will take a blind stab...
Calling 'C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2012/bin/Render -s
\Undefined -e \Undefined -of png -fnc name.#.ext -pad 3 -im ATR24 -r
mr -cam audienceCam -alpha 0 -log z:/renderLogs/ATR24_log.txt -rd Z:
It seems like maybe your string formatting is not correct so it cant slot in
your frame ranges. I assume %tp2 and %tp3
are to be replaced from within backburner, correct? Have you tried NOT escaping
those parts in the string?
' cmdjob -jobName ' + jobName + params + taskListFile + ' -taskName 1 ' \
+ mayaPath + ' -s %tp2 -e %tp3 ' + ' -of png -fnc name.#.ext -pad 3 -im ' \
+ imageName + ' -r mr -cam ' + renderCam + ' -alpha 0 ' + ' -log
z:/renderLogs/ATR24_log.txt -rd ' \
+ destPath + scene2Render
From the looks of the error output, its retaining those backslashes. And I
guess if you are seeing Undefined, that is
backburner not properly slotting in your ranges from whatever problem you are
having with your tasklist definition.
That part I unfortunately cant offer any insight.

case - it appears that my 'os' command is causing BB to send the
entire frame range with each task.
Do you know the correct way to call it?
I think I'm close, but I don't know how to pass the start/end frames
from the BB tasklist to the render job command.
This is what I have:
1) I created a tasklist in table form:

jobName = 'ATR24'
# params = r' -manager 192.168.2.222 -logPath z:/renderLogs -
priority 50 -tp_start 1 -tp_jump 3 -numTasks '

mayaPath = 'C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2012/bin/Render
imageName = 'ATR24'
renderCam = 'audienceCam'
destPath = r' Z:\Compositing\Sequences\ATR\ATR24_2'
scene2Render = r' Z:\3D\scenes\is50anim24.mb'
3) Render command:
os.system (' cmdjob -jobName ' + jobName + params + taskListFile + ' -
taskName 1 ' + mayaPath + ' -s \%tp2 -e \%tp3 ' + ' -of png -fnc
name.#.ext -pad 3 -im ' + imageName + ' -r mr -cam ' + renderCam + ' -
alpha 0 ' + ' -log z:/renderLogs/ATR24_log.txt -rd ' + destPath +
scene2Render )
The 3 tasks show up in the BB Monitor, and I don't get any errors, but
I don't get any frames either. Here's what the job log shows:

Unless your preRender is over 8k characters long then you wouldn't be
hitting an arg limit for the windows command line. And you are using a
string arg (though using inefficient string concatenation) for your
os.system() call so thats probably not an issue.
If putting the preRender commands into a script fixes it then you know its
backburner/maya. We do the same thing at my studio for queue submissions
using preRender scripts in network locations and sourcing them.

Re: [Maya-Python] component selection using python
Thanks. I am quite lovely aren't I? LOL Here is a rough example that I thought of, using python commands and assuming a start and end selection https://gist.github.com/1398060 I don't really check the original selection to see if its only two vertices or faces, but this should give you an idea. Hopefully I didn't over-think your problem. I used a regex to get the int vert/face number instead of using the maya api since that approach seems like too much code just to get the index from the selection: import maya.OpenMaya as api sel = api.MSelectionList() api.MGlobal.getActiveSelectionList(sel) compIter = api.MItSelectionList(sel, api.MFn.kMeshVertComponent) component = api.MObject() meshDagPath = api.MDagPath() vList = [] while not compIter.isDone(): compIter.getDagPath(meshDagPath, component) if not component.isNull(): vertIter = api.MItMeshVertex(meshDagPath, component) while not vertIter.isDone(): vList.append(vertIter.index()) vertIter.next() compIter.next() I may be a little slow from the holiday weekend and overlooked some easier way to do it.

I would say that if you need per shot scene locations then you would want one in each shot level. Because then you would be using the workspace.mel to define the environment per shot. You might even consider having Project_name be a root workspace that define the asset location and other global locations, and then have each sequence or shot also be workspaces and then use the baseWorkspace setting of the workspace command to inherit. Im not sure if workspaces can be chained or not. Haven't tested. Maybe each workspace can first call baseWorkspace on its parent.

Re: [Maya-Python] Re: pyqt button menus with designer
Your QDialog has a function called mapToGlobal(), which is inherits because
its a subclass of QWidget.
mapToGlobal takes a point that is local to the current object and remaps it
to the global position.
When your button calls that custom context menu slot, popup(), it passes it
the position (point) of where the
click occurred, so that you can popup your menu at that point.
Your menu has a method called exec_(), which will show the popup, start an
event loop, and block until the popup is done.
QMenu.exec_() takes a point as an argument of where to show the popup, so
we pass that global position into it.
exec_() will end once the popup closes.

Re: [Maya-Python] Animated Rigid Bodies Starting at Intervals - Will Pay for Sample Script
Hey, What actions specifically should the script perform and what parameters does it need to expose to you? Im not a maya artist specifically im a pipeline developer so i dont always know every aspect of maya such as doing rbd very thoroughly but the artists always show me what they need to accomplish in order for me to produce tools.

I'm working with someone on this and we REALLY need to get this figured out. We can pay a small fee for help. I'm working w/ another artist on this. Here's lowdown: I'm trying to animate 5 rigid bodies that appear and interact/collide at different intervals. I'm working with someone on this, trying to help them and I've suggested animating the rigid bodies on/off, collision layers and a few other options. But it needs to be done w/ python. How would I do this? Here's some more info, from the artist: I am able to have bodies fall and make contact with other bodies. That is working well. What I haven’t been able to do is sequence the falling bodies to start at different times. Either by starting a dynamics run, stop it, add another rigid body and start it again or by placing all the bodies and holding them in place until I need them during the run. I need to create a simple script to drop a ball on a flat plate and then drop another ball on to the same flat plate 1 second later. But I need to keyframe the transparency, Rigid Body Active on/off, Collision Layers, and several other Channel Box parameters. One ball falls, then later the second one appears, and falls. Eventually there would be 5 objects doing this, and selectively interact only certain objects. They need to do this with 1000 objects so they will need to script it. ANY help to just get started with the first couple would be greatly appreciated! Again, we can pay. I'm not sure how much but I'm pretty sure this would be quick work for someone versed in Python and Maya.

Sorry, I missed to explain something.
To get changes on a node I use the
getSetAttrCmds function of MPlug on all its writeable attributes.
(I suppose that is the same command that is called when a file is saved.)
So that makes it convinient for me because I don't have to care about what
type of attribute it is, what data type etc.
All I need to store is the mel command the function above spits out and then
re-apply it later.
But if *some* mel commands don't work apart from file openening time, this
all crumbles apart a bit. :/
and I might have to do things properly after all.

Re: [Maya-Python] find geometry with vertex count as condition?
As far as I know, maya's database doesn't index all geometry vertex counts in a way that you can filter select on it. The API selection mechanism only lets you select on name patterns and then filter on type. And the python commands wrap around that to add more type filtering. I believe your only option is to loop over all geometry and do a polyEvaluate(v=True) on each one to test the vertex count, and then append to a list. A list comprehension would be the same speed as a multi-line for loop: # list comp matches = [geom for geom in cmds.ls(dag=True, g=True) if cmds.polyEvaluate(geom, v=True) 1000] # same as normal loop matches = [] for geom in cmds.ls(dag=True, g=True): if cmds.polyEvaluate(geom, v=True) 1000: matches.append(geom) This would also be slightly faster if you were to do it in the API because of the selection iterator. Is this something where you need extremely low latency searches for queries happening constantly? Or were you just looking for a simpler way to do the query? Because if you needed a solution faster than looping over every single one, in the way thats similar to your SQL style query, you would need to index all the geometry yourself by vertex count into a dictionary. And then either manage it yourself each some geometry is modified or attach some kind of scriptJob to keep updating it. But Im not sure if thats even your goal. The SQL query just sorta made me think you needed fast queries that are indexed. On Dec 26, 2011, at 4:32 AM, Panupat wrote: say I want to select geometries that have more than X amount of vertices.

Re: [Maya-Python] user login session with PyQt
This is all overkill. I dont see why you need fancy 3rd party frameworks for a non http/web app. You wouldnt store the users login info locally. You would perform the auth against postgres or ldap or any type of server that has the users. If the user passes the auth you can use a QSettings instance in pyqt to store a persistent arbitrary amount of preferences for the user. At that point its up to you if you want to store simply a session key that can be used to check out the real prefs from postgres. And maybe that session key has a TTL so it can expire. Or not. That would be the closest to an http session i think. All these other frameworks are for http requests. But with your pyqt app you have a database driver talking live to postgres. There are no requests. QSettings creates appropriate property files for different operating systems in the right user location. I think it will solve your issue. The steps in a nutshell are: User loads pyqt app Load the QSettings object and check for a session key If session key, is it still valid in db? If so, get prefs from db If not, ask for user and password and validate on db. Generate a new session key and store in QSettings and prefs on db On Dec 29, 2011, at 6:10 AM, Pierre A pierre.auge...@heroldfamily.biz wrote: I don't know exactly what you are trying to achieve, but when I see session and python in the same sentence, beaker comes to mind.

Re: [Maya-Python] pymel ui from shell
Running gui commands requires that maya actually be running in gui mode, otherwise it has nothing to generate the dialogs under. That is.. gui commands dont work from mayapy If you need a completely standalone app that uses maya, then you would in fact need to design a PyQt app that uses mayapy as its interpreter. I have a tool like this actually as part of our pipeline between the art department and the TDs. Its a gui that takes illustrator files and custom parses and creates the geometry, and then saves the scene files. On Dec 30, 2011, at 11:53 AM, Murphy Randle wrote: Hi there!

Re: [Maya-Python] pymel ui from shell
Actually let me clarify.. My app doesn't actually directly start using mayapy as the interp. It uses a normal python interpreter but it calls out to a command line only tool which DOES use mayapy to do standalone maya commands http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/maya2012/en_us/PyMel/standalone.html As far as I know, you can't actually run a pyqt app directly under maya standalone because I think the main thread blocks and doesn't process any events on your qt event loop... which kind of refers back to the whole pumpThread fix from pre maya 2010 days. Though I think its a pretty simple approach to just design your UI completely separate in PyQt anyways. If you wanted to get fancier in being able to call out to your maya standalone process and didn't want to incur load times each time you run the command, I bet you could do something fun like starting up the tool right away in a separate process and communicate with it via interprocess communication :-) On Dec 30, 2011, at 12:06 PM, Murphy Randle wrote: Wow, That sounds really cool.

If so you shouldn't do sys.exit(app.exec_())

If your not using pumpThread you have to in Maya 2010.
You can find pumpThread in the sdk folder. From memory you need to import
it and initialize it before any Qt Gui is created.
import pumpThread as pt
pt.initializePumpThread()

The UI class is Ui_AddPlayblast.py. The set title line looks like this

there anything else I should try?
Kurian - the UI script will be run exclusively in Maya. As I understand, the

launching the UI with these commands

Re: [Maya-Python]is there a way to get Current Camera view name(trasnform node)?
I cant agree more with ya, Judah. I acknowledge its extremely appealing to start in with pymel for all the convenience it offers, and be allowed to bypass the unpythonic nature of the cmds module. But it does come with a price, and I'm sure that when you start using it, you would use it for everything. Its far more beneficial to understand how the native commands and API work, before you start committing yourself to a 3rd party library that has to be maintained separately and kept in sync. When you have a bug in your code, you have the chance of it being one layer higher, in the pymel abstraction. When I first saw pymel, a while back, I got really excited and started using it in my code. But I quickly found that the performance hit was huge for doing loops on anything. I also address this and show some benchmarks in my Vol 1. cmivfx training video. In a nutshell, its far better to get the fundamentals down cold, and then know what your options are for solving different problems.

Now I'm not saying pymel is a spitoon full of mucus, and mean no offense to its talented developers, but it's a funny joke and illustrates an important point: once you start using pymel it will be very difficult to stop due to the nature of its implementation. It's a slippery slope and the decision warrants some study and consideration. I would recommend that a new python user stick with cmds.

Re: [Maya-Python] python __main__ class
I think that __main__ would be a very strange and unpredictable place to store shared data in your environment. If what you are after is a globals module to share settings, you could try something like this ## testConstants.py ## BAR=foo ## testScriptA.py ## import testConstants print BAR=, testConstants.BAR testConstants.BAR = blah testConstants.FOO = bar ## testScriptB.py ## import testConstants print BAR=,testConstants.BAR print FOO=,testConstants.FOO # And when we try them out import testScriptA BAR= foo import testScriptB BAR= blah FOO= bar Because modules are only imported once, importing your constants module in multiple scripts will all reference the same module. You can then access all the objects within that module.

Re: [Maya-Python] python __main__ class
+1 on that, Judah. Storing them in the __init__.py really does offer an excellent way to organize by scope. On Wed, Jan 25, 2012 at 2:03 PM, Judah Baron judah.ba...@gmail.com wrote: Additionally, and this might not apply to your situation until you have more of a system in place but, many of the constants that you might be interested in are best stored in some modular context. That is, you may have a number of settings that really belong in your export package, for instance. So instead of making them truely detached and global you can put them in your export __init__. When you need to retrieve this value it would then look something like the following: ## export.__init__ PROCESSOR_EXE = someTool.exe - ## Any other implementation file import os import subprocess import parentPackage processorPath = os.path.join( toolPath, 'bin', parentPackage.export.PROCESSOR_EXE ) if os.path.exists(processorPath): subprocess.Popen( processorPath, *localArgs... ) This will give your global variables/constants a meaningful scope. An added benefit of doing this is the completion provided in most IDEs worth using. This may seem trivial, but it saves a lot of time when you have a large system of packages working together and lots of settings per package. For values that are not specific to a particular module, but are used by the system in general, you can put them in parentPackage, or an equivalent. -Judah On Wed, Jan 25, 2012 at 1:38 PM, Justin Israel justinisr...@gmail.comwrote: I think that __main__ would be a very strange and unpredictable place to store shared data in your environment.

Re: [Maya-Python] array of pointers?
Hey,
I think the problem you are having is in your use of MScriptUtil. As per
the docs, the pointer you generate from data stored in an instance of a
script util is somewhat bound to that instance. When you create more
pointers from more data, you invalidate the previous pointers. Here is an
example that I think should work for you:
https://gist.github.com/1684064
In your example, you see that all the pointers before the last one have
invalid values. In the example I have provided, a new MScriptUtil is used
each time, and stored with the pointer so as not to lose the reference.

Re: [Maya-Python] Fastest way to build a QTreeWidget from Scene
Also, for the QTreeView, it might even be beneficial to make your model load hierarchies on demand as opposed to an exhaustive walk of the whole tree. So each time you expand a node, thats when you find the children. Unless of course you actually run an 'expand all' type operation. And I agree with Judah about subclassing a QStandardItem as some kind of NodeItem that holds your paths and important metadata.

Re: [Maya-Python] Re: Fever Dorian's Sphere Packing code optimized
Hey, While I actually am not really familiar with the original problem that this trick solves, after seeing your code I got somewhat hooked today trying to optimize it further. I thought I would post what I've to be able to have some discussion about it. There were a couple things I was confused about... But first, here is my pass at further modifying your code: https://gist.github.com/1795840 Some changes: 1. Removed all the remaining pymel 2. During the first loop that computes the radius of each point, I create an MPoint as well and save all of the data in an object. 3. I sort the object by radius size instead of doing that extremely repetitive loop to find the biggest sphere each time. Instead I figured we could just start with a sorted list and work through it. Am I wrong about this approach? Did they need to remain in the original order for some reason? I didn't think they did and all we care about is having the biggest spheres first. 4. For the main intensive loop, since we no longer have to do the size test, we just go forward over our sorted list, popping off the next biggest, and then doing the collision test on the remainder. I noticed that (at least in my own tests) the original version, yours, and mine all did not properly set the radiusPP values on each particle. They all end up being 0.2. I can go and change them individually in the scene via the component editor, but I have yet to figure out how to get them to actually set in the script. So that remains unsolved.

Re: [Maya-Python] File Access Callbacks Grrr
The actual issue I see with that callback is that you are not defining the args signature correctly and its actually failing. When you use that specific callback, it wants to also pass a second parameter for the optionally provided userdata when the callback was registered. This example works for me. import maya.OpenMaya as om import maya.cmds as mc def function(retCode, userData=None): om.MScriptUtil.setBool(retCode, False) return retCode cbk_id = om.MSceneMessage.addCheckCallback( om.MSceneMessage.kBeforeSaveCheck, function ) # remove the callback om.MSceneMessage.removeCallback(cbk_id) You don't need to import the OpenMaya module a second time in your callback. Its already imported and the MScriptUtil is in a closure.

Re: [Maya-Python] keyboard callback
I threw together a simple pyqt example of how to show a dialog at the current mouse position, and then respond to the ESC key being pressed to then hide that dialog: https://gist.github.com/1951709 You can adapt this to your maya version I'm sure. But this is a standalone PyQt working example. I don't think its necessary to try and hook into any maya events with callbacks. You obviously know when you will be launching your dialog (to show at the mouse position), and while your dialog has focus it can watch for key press events. -- justin On Thu, Mar 1, 2012 at 8:37 AM, Chad Vernon chadver...@gmail.com wrote: You can probably use Qt to install some keyboard and mouse event filters.

Re: [Maya-Python] Re: keyboard callback
I may be wrong, but I dont think there is a direct python equivalent of that
example. But if you have that snippet, why not just compile it and use it as a

The python solutions I have seen are to use an MPxContext type approach and get
the position from an event.
All in all it seems you have a useable solution with that C++ snippet.

Re: [Maya-Python] Extracting data from Output Window
I'm not sure how that python snippet was working for you. It seems kind of broken. Also, its not really doing a tee, because I believe the os.dup2 is actually closing the original __stdout__. So its really only writing to your new file, as you noticed. Also, it looks like he was trying to do a context manager with the __exit__ method, yet no __enter__ method and not using it in a with statement, so it basically does nothing right now. It looks to me like sys.__stdout__ is assigned and used differently on a windows machine than on osx, because I don't get the same output flowing to that descriptor that you seem to, but if I had to suggest a version of that code, it might be this: http://pastebin.com/RLsAABRQ You just assign a file-like interface to __stdout__ with a write() method that writes to both your own file, and the original file descriptor. See if that works for you.

Re: [Maya-Python] Problem with add maya widget to Qt layout
Hey there,
This issue, as far as I know, relates to something I addressed in one of my
maya python training videos (vol 2). When you create a ui in Qt Designer
and then have maya generate the actual GUI from it, its doing translations
to represent widgets. With that in mind, the exact hierarchy and objects
aren't completely 1-to-1 or fully accessible all the time. Some of the
widgets translate into maya objects that you can control using the commands
module, others are simply not accessible in a normal fashion.
The specific issue I am referring to here is regarding layouts. A layout is
one of those objects that you can't fully expect to use with commands
module, as it becomes just a generic layout when it translates to maya. The
problem I have seen is when you have a layout inside another layout, which
is perfectly valid in Qt. Maya will do some things differently during
translation, and actually give you issues if you don't put a QWidget in
between. Also, the hierarchy does end up being different.
Consider this Qt Designer UI file: http://pastebin.com/82W8Kne5
It is a QDialog, with a main horizontal layout, containing two vertical
layouts, each with a push button.
On the left side, the vertical layout is placed directly into the
horizontal layout.
On the right side, a placeholder widget is added first, then set with a
vertical layout and then the push button.
Look at the hierarchy when I do this:
form = test.MyForm(win)
fullName = mui.MQtUtil.fullName
for name in ('layout1', 'button1', 'placeHolderWidget', 'layout2',
'button2'):
obj = getattr(form, name)
path = fullName(long(sip.unwrapinstance(obj)))
print path
## output ##
MayaWindow|MayaTestDialog|layout1
MayaWindow|MayaTestDialog|mainLayout|button1
MayaWindow|MayaTestDialog|mainLayout|placeHolderWidget
MayaWindow|MayaTestDialog|mainLayout|layout2
MayaWindow|MayaTestDialog|mainLayout|layout2|button2
Notice that with the layout-within-layout, button1 isn't even showing that
its a child of layout1
On the other side, button2 does show that its a child of layout2, yet
layout2 still isnt showing that its a child of placeHolderWidget.
So, Maya does some under the hood reorganizing when it translates. When I
try and setParent to layout1, for me Maya actually crashes completely. I'm
not sure what OS you are running, and maybe because your UI is set up
differently you just get a traceback. But, I can however setParent to
layout2 just fine.
Ultimately, you have to be careful with how you expect to use a Qt layout
in combination with the commands module UI widgets.
My final suggestion, regarding wanting to now add an attrFieldSliderGrp to
your ui, is to stick with PyQt if you are already designing with it. You
will reduce your limitations in trying to translate between the two worlds
constantly. An attrFieldSliderGrp is basically a QLabel, a QLineEdit with a
QDoubleValidator set on it, and a QSlider, all placed in a horizontal
layout. And then you just cross connect the signals between the QLineEdit
and QSlider. This may seem like more work rather than trying to just throw
in an existing Maya widget, but what you get is more control over these
items. You don't have to wonder what the translation will do, and you have
instant easy access to the complete range of signals, events, and even
being able to wrap this up into its own nice subclass with customizations.
Hope this helps

Re: [Maya-Python] Problem with add maya widget to Qt layout
Thanks. As always…I am cute.
I'm not exactly sure what you want to be able to control from Maya. It would
work just like any other python object, except you would use the methods of
your pyqt widget, and not have to use the maya commands module.
In case what you meant is that you were having trouble linking the text field
with the slider, I have thrown together a really fast and simple example of a
pyqt attrFieldSliderGrp
https://gist.github.com/2007194
It ties the field and slider together with signals, and uses a QDoubleValidator
on the text field.
Any maya widget could have its command attribute set to a python command that
modifies the pyqt widget. And yes you could also use a scriptJob if what you
are doing is setting up the pyqt widget and then forgetting about it, and
letting events fire that modify it. How you use the pyqt widget it totally up
to you, but accessing its values is completely pythonic. You don't need the
commands module for that.
I hope that helps a bit more. Sorry if I didn't fully understand your question.
It might be the language barrier :-/
If you still have questions, maybe give an example so I can specifically see
what your issue is.

It will have to be built against the proper Qt API version. Using yum or apt-get might end up building against 4.8. Dunno if that is useable.

Re: [Maya-Python] How to embed PyQt windows to Maya main window on Mac Os
Simple fix. Just pass a WindowFlag to your window that tells it to always stay on top class MayaSubWindow(QtGui.QMainWindow): def __init__(self, parent=getMayaWindow()): super(MayaSubWindow, self).__init__(parent, QtCore.Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint) QtGui.QPushButton(self) If you are saying that on other operating system, the window stays on top by default (I havent checked or anything) then it could just be a difference in the window systems defaults.

Re: [Maya-Python] Anyone tried making Maya (Windows, 64bits) work with virtualenv through userSetup.py?
Though I am not sure exactly why, it is this line in the activation script that is hanging up maya: site.addsitedir(site_packages) I have not tried using a virtualenv with maya before. Its a lot easier to just update the PYTHONPATH from the Maya.env, or, update the sys.path from the userSetup.py At our studio we just use git repos in a facility network location, and then point our userSetup.py files at that location. Using pip locally just for distributing your maya modules seems like overkill to me, but thats just my opinion and I could be completely wrong. With git, you can pull your updates at any time, tag, branch, and have a great deal of control over the package location. Do you have some specialized need that makes a local setuptools approach more appealing than a repo?

Re: [Maya-Python] PyQt and Maya's scriptedPanels
Sorry, typo:

Nathan Horne has several very useful posts about PyQt and Maya. You
should read this: http://nathanhorne.com/?p=381
Using the code in that post, here's how to achieve what you want:
import pymel.all as p
class MayaSubWindow(QtGui.QMainWindow):
def __init__(self, parent=getMayaWindow()):
super(MayaSubWindow, self).__init__(parent)
self.centralwidget = QtGui.QWidget(self)
self.layout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout(self.centralwidget)
self.box = p.channelBox('myHappyBox')
# add the standard right click menu. Doesnt work too well -
# most operations use the default channelBox no matter what
self.popup = p.popupMenu()
p.popupMenu(self.popup, e=True, postMenuCommand=lambda *x:
p.mel.generateChannelMenu(self.popup, True))
qtObj = toQtObject(self.box)
self.layout.addWidget(qtObj)
self.setCentralWidget(self.centralwidget)
myWindow = MayaSubWindow()
myWindow.show()

Hey Besjan,
It might be a good idea to follow up on your questions if you ask the
community something and then someone answers. I keep seeing a pattern in
this discussion group where people will ask a question, someone takes the
time to provide information, and then that original person says nothing
about it for maybe a week or never. In your case, you stated you solved
this soon after posting. Closing this thread would prevent someone else
from putting time into it for you, or might help someone else that comes
across this in the meantime.
I feel like we need to address the QA etiquette situation here on this
group. Am I wrong anyone? Just a thought.

In Python doesn't work..
So $keyt = 1 and keyt = 1.0 should be the same (floats)..
While in MEL is accepting a float for time (maybe is being converted
automatically, or something..), in Python is not..
Anyone got any idea?

Re: [Maya-Python] PyQt MainWindow as ScriptJob Parent
You have some issues with the way you are loading and using your UI. Notice that you are loading the UI into self.ui, but then implementing events on self. Your end up calling self.ui.show() from your init which is showing a completely different object than your main window class. Normally, I would recommend either precompiling your UIC via pyuic4, or, loading it in on the fly and then inheriting from it: class SkinWrangler(QtGui.QMainWindow, Ui_skinWrangler): def __init__(self, parent=None): super(SkinWrangler, self).__init__(parent) self.setupUi(self) There are variations of that approach, where some people will store the ui as an object: self.ui = Ui_skinWrangler() self.ui.setupUi(self) The immediate fix for how you are using loadUi is to tell it to set it up on your main window (similar to what setupUi does): class skinWrangler(QtGui.QMainWindow): def __init__(self): # other stuff here # uiPath = /path/to/ui/test.ui uic.loadUi(uiPath, self) def closeEvent(self, e): print 'CLOSED' win = skinWrangler() win.show() # instead of win.ui.show() Don't call show() from your init. It should be called by the entry-point function that is launching your UI. Now you will see your closeEvent get called when the window is closed. The reason you were seeing it look like it was occurring during init each time, is that what it was really doing was deleting your previous instance with cmds.deleteUI() which triggers the closeEvent for that previous widget.

Re: [Maya-Python] PyQt MainWindow as ScriptJob Parent
In the single inheritance approach, the key line you woud have been missing
was:
self.ui.setupUi(self)
.. which would set up the ui onto the current class.
As for the TypeError, your Ui class should be a generic class if it came
straight from designer. Looking something like this:
class Ui_skinWrangler(object):
def setupUi(self, skinWrangler):
If you created that file by hand or modified it, and it was a QMainWindow
subclass, then yea this would not work for you. Usually you just generate
them from designer and use them directly in your implementation,
unmodified.

QtGui.QDialog.__init__(self)
Now it works fine! (the onClose)

You have some issues with the way you are loading and using your UI.
Notice that you are loading the UI into self.ui, but then implementing
events on self. Your end up calling self.ui.show() from your init which
is
showing a completely different object than your main window class.
Normally, I would recommend either precompiling your UIC via pyuic4, or,
loading it in on the fly and then inheriting from it:
class SkinWrangler(QtGui.QMainWindow, Ui_skinWrangler):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(SkinWrangler, self).__init__(parent)
self.setupUi(self)
There are variations of that approach, where some people will store the
ui
as an object:
self.ui = Ui_skinWrangler()
self.ui.setupUi(self)
The immediate fix for how you are using loadUi is to tell it to set it
up on
your main window (similar to what setupUi does):
class skinWrangler(QtGui.QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
# other stuff here #
uiPath = /path/to/ui/test.ui
uic.loadUi(uiPath, self)
def closeEvent(self, e):
print 'CLOSED'
win = skinWrangler()
win.show() # instead of win.ui.show()
Don't call show() from your init. It should be called by the entry-point
function that is launching your UI.
Now you will see your closeEvent get called when the window is closed.
The reason you were seeing it look like it was occurring during init each
time, is that what it was really doing was deleting your previous
instance
with cmds.deleteUI() which triggers the closeEvent for that previous
widget.

Re: [Maya-Python] wingide 4.1 and maya 2011 - 2013 commandport on win7?
I added a sys.platform == darwin case to both scripts, and on osx 10.6.8 with maya 2012 this seems to work fine and repeatedly when I just use the wingHotKeys module from a terminal (I dont use wing). I'm curious why the scripts go through so much trouble to set up raw low level sockets on a platform specific basis. The python telnetlib works beautifully with very little setup and I would think the underlying code would handle platform specific issues: from telnetlib import Telnet telnet = Telnet() # I have a mel port on 7001 and a python port w/ pickle on 7002 # Leaving the host empty will connect on localhost automatically telnet.open(, 7002) telnet.write(cmds.ls()) result = telnet.read_very_eager() telnet.close() Those scripts aren't really the cleanest or most efficient. For instance, in the executeWingCode module, there is no reason to open the temp file twice. The whole thing could be cleaned up I am sure. So I am not really certain where your problem is, as it does work fine for me.

Also, I just wanted to point out that the way you are using your UI file is less than desirable. There are a couple recommended approaches you can use here: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/designer-using-a-ui-file.html But if you just load it into self.ui and then start doing self.ui.show(), your main window has not been set up by the ui. That is, your main window is never really showing. Only the new widgets set up in the ui. No show events, resize events etc. Ideally you would do something like: self.ui.setupUi(self) Now your main window would be set up and you can do self.show() Just a suggestion.

Hey Manuel,
Have you tried using a QCompleter? You realize its provided to do this exact

There are a couple different modes it can be set to, one of which being a popup

Re: [Maya-Python] QLineEdit setFocus problem
Also, the reason its not working right now in your code is because you are
using a QMenu. The default flags and usage for a QMenu are to be a popup type
which is designed to hide when it loses focus. You are calling its exec method
which will force it to act like a popup .
You would want to just use a normal QWidget that is set up how you want, and
show() it. I have a tool exactly like this which mimics OSX's Spotlight. The
list is just a custom widget that I show underneath.
