1) you can launch softimage code from a pyqt app, so use a normal
pickelement, pickobject, or pickposition. then process the return values in
your python code.
2) i haven't done enough development using uic files so i haven't the
experience with this but could you instead use the pyqt_example.py
this is only at generation so a new set of tools for doing gradients still
is relevant, like on existing weightmaps or one that takes arbitrary start
and end positions.

Good to know about the Pick Session stuff. Thanks!

great news!
i dont get to use the pyqt interfaces as much as i want to (yet) and i want
to hear more from the community on the ups and downs of jo's and my plugin.
i also am hoping some people could start sharing their examples? maybe some
tutorials? wink wink

just to add some context... the duplicate pass menu item was added because
Ctrl+D can break the pass. on one of my first jobs users were duplicating
passes and they wouldn't appear. through scripting they were there but not
in the explorer. after some research we found that if the duplicate
an image clip should always show the source!
often i will click the 'plug' icon when navigating a material's render
tree. i will navigate down to the image node then the clip and i dont see
the source.

her example i dont believe was complete... if you find an instance you need
to return the class then .show(). right?

once this is 'finished' it would be great to see it on rray.de/xsi and link

Right on. Still two things that need smoothing out, although they're
strictly cosmetic:
1) the funky FileBrowser
2) the teeny tiny 'Ok' button in the 'About' dialog. I still don't know
these are only exposed to the cpp api right? so i need to expose this to
scripting in the QtSoftimage plugin...
