In addition to what Marcus said about passing the iterator instance, have you profiled your code to come to the conclusion that it is inefficient to create your iterator and function sets from within the function? On Jun 11, 2014 2:57 AM, "Marcus Ottosson" wrote: > Hi Enrico, > > I’m not very ac

Re: [Maya-Python] Re: String literals with maya.eval in python

This seems to work fine: mel.eval('runTimeCommand -annotation "Herrow" -category "User" -commandLanguage "python" -command "from tools.anim import picker; reload(picker)" customCmd2;') ​ And so does the python commands equivalent cmds.runTimeCommand("customCmd", annotation="Herrow", category="Us

Re: [Maya-Python] [PyQt] Index in the model after selecting from QTreeView

Hey David, I wanted to add that you should not use the internalPointer method outside of the internal code of your model. Normally in Qt land that would return a pointer to something outside components shouldn't be messing with but I know it feels natural to use it when you are setting your own ob

Re: [Maya-Python] How to emit particles from CV curve and control lifespanPP with a ramp?

Maybe something like this might help for the first part of the problem? import maya.cmds as cmdsimport maya.OpenMaya as om # This point would refer to our particle birth location point = om.MPoint(*cmds.xform(q=True, t=True, ws=True)) # Loading the curve, in case we didn't have it already curve =

Re: [Maya-Python] How to emit particles from CV curve and control lifespanPP with a ramp?

Oh I hope I didn't mislead you too much on that. The part at the beginning was really a temp example solution to producing a point. I assumed you would be slotting in your own source for the particle birth location. Mine was just grabbing a point off a locator for test. On Jun 14, 2014 7:10 PM, "E

Re: [Maya-Python] Sublime Text MayaSublime use the code sent to the Maya, so Sublime Text can get to the Maya Script Editor Window of Hirstory Window information? ?

Hi If I understand you correctly, you want to know if the MayaSublime plugin can send the text to the script editor instead of executing it? Couldn't you just copy and paste for that? On Jun 14, 2014 6:13 AM, "提颖浩" wrote: > Hi All > Sublime Text MayaSublime use the code sent to the Maya, so S

Re: [Maya-Python] Sublime Text MayaSublime use the code sent to the Maya, so Sublime Text can get to the Maya Script Editor Window of Hirstory Window information? ?

I guess even with the picture I am not clear on what you want. I'm not sure what you mean by getting information from the script editor and sending it to Sublime. You want communication in the other direction? Can you explain an example of how you would use the feature you want? On Sat, Jun 14, 2

Re: [Maya-Python] Sublime Text MayaSublime use the code sent to the Maya, so Sublime Text can get to the Maya Script Editor Window of Hirstory Window information? ?

Oh right. Getting the return value and printing it to the Sublime console has been asked before. But there are two aspects of the script editor output. There is the return value for a function call, and also the output that Maya just prints to stdout. Getting the stdout would be a different task

Re: [Maya-Python] Reloading functions called from button commands

It's because you delete the window but leave behind the DockWindow. It doesn't really make sense to try and bring the dock window forward if it exists, since the old one will no longer have a window content (it was deleted). You use a fixed DockWindow name each time, so you end up with duplicates a
