Re: [Maya-Python] Re: Command flag in symbolButton keeps erroring for me

Lambdas are particularly confusing, too. Your original attempt command=lambda *x: self.add_btn_callback("item_list") doesn't actually call the function add_btn_callback, even though it looks like it does. It creates a new function that will call add_btn_callback later. I prefer partial instead,

[Maya-Python] What is the best way to gather a list of values from ui and use it?

I got a couple of QPushButton(s) in which their text are changeable as user clicks on it. And also, a couple of QLineEdits that specify the minimum and maximum values for scaling. So when user clicks on the 'Create' button, it will takes in these texts as part of the information, and creates

[Maya-Python] Re: playblast resolution?

Apparently 1920x1088 is considered full HD by a lot of software. Google shows several forum posts about it in various A/V forums. Also, apparently a lot of software ignores the 1088 and reports it as 1080, just to make it more confusing for the likes of us! On Thursday, 16 March 2017 09:16:58

[Maya-Python] playblast resolution?

I've come across some strange behavior when playblasting motion jpeg .mov's from maya, namely that when I specify HD resolution, and then inspect it with ffprobe, ffprobe indicates that it's actually not HD but 1920 x 1088, with a display aspect ratio of 30:17what gives? Anyone come across

Hi Paul, My apologies, you're right, I should have formed a better question with a simple example file but I suppose the heat of production is getting to me, thankfully Ian's answer was the perfect timely alternative. Thanks Ian! Today I can't replicate the issue, I was hoping to reply with a

Re: [Maya-Python] closestPointOnPoly

Hi David - a few tips when seeking help on this list: - Whenever possible, provide all the code necessary to set up the scene to test - Provide all the pertinent code to replicate the problem - This will generally mean extracting and simplifying your code. Do so. Doing this will mean more work

Re: [Maya-Python] closestPointOnPoly

Thanks for pointing this out Andres, It's not obvious from the gist but this uses PyMel. It's wrapping of the API lets you use strings for the space param. I believe its using a pymel enum under the hood before constructing the MSpace object. Cheers On Wed, Mar 15, 2017 at 4:16 AM, Andres
