I'm just diving into it as well, but the way I'd do it is to implement a
siOnTimeChange event
that either calls a function in your UI (or menu) to update it's parameters,
or, if you want the UI
to respond to value changes happening without the time slider being moved
(somebody changes a parameter
through scripting or the normal Softimage interface) you probably have to
implement an onValueChanged event.
How sophistivated this event is (whether it checks for what values actually
have changed and whether the Qt
UI has to be upated or not, or whether it just stupidly calls the "Update QT
UI" function every time) comes down
to performance. Keep it simple first and optimize if required.
Would love to hear more ideas on this as well.
Just bringing this thread back to life.
We are getting more into using PYQT here and I am looking into completely
replacing synoptics and use PYQT instead.
I was hoping somebody could help me figure out how to get information from
XSI sent to PYQT currently everything that I have done has been the
opposite, where PYQT drives something, but does very little evaluation of
the scene.
An example would be.
When a characters facial animation is animated, and the time slider scrubs,
I will need the PYQT slider that drives that facial animation to detect the
value change in XSI and show its new value in the menu.
Currently I don't really know how to do that, as the example SignalSlot
function that comes with this implementation only covers something with a
registered event.
Do I need to create onValueChanged events for every value on the rig?
any help would be awesome, I'm pretty new to PYQT still.
thanks,
Enrique

For those of us using linux, is there an out of box PYQT implementation
such as this that we can use?

well for your reference, i am using Alan Jones' cmake softimage module.
it automates a lot of the process for creating softimage plugins with
cmake. it can be found in the src\CMake\Modules folder. its very handy :)

Yep that works too, I knew that it did not need shader lib for sure,
but was not sure, so I set the path anyways.

well it doesn't need that actually, let the entry in the cmake gui
stay red. just hit generate... does this work for you?
