Often you can’t get a simple print statement to output to Mobu’s output window when using PySide. You will only see all the output if you close down a UI and reload it. Easiest way to get around this is with flushing the output via the pythonidelib module. It’s as simple as:

import pythonidelib pythonidelib.FlushOutput() |

Just a quick mention that I have been spending the last 2 months in the UK on an exciting film project. Lots of Maya, Motionbuilder, PyQt, with some Nuke scripting. Fun, fun. I need to throw some of the Mobu snippets up here for reference, as I find hunting down helpful Mobu code to be […]
And let me tell you it is frustrating as hell…. something as simple as just trying to connect the Translate Y of one attribute to another is like an insane amount of code. It literally makes you want to throw a chair at someone. Here’s a nice example for that simple connection:

Call me stupid, but didn’t think it was this easy LOL “C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2014\bin\maya.exe” -hideConsole Also, suppressing script editor errors: cmds.scriptEditorInfo(suppressErrors=True)
Frustrating! Nothing like spending almost half a day trying to get PyQt working with Maya. Here I am thinking that Maya includes PyQt, whereas I don’t have to do a thing to get it working. Call me stupid, but when I read “be aware that with Maya 2015, there is no more need to build […]
Slight unrelated, but my professional website is in dire need of an overhaul (as is my reel). Currently focusing on that at the moment, but I expect to have a lot of little posts here regarding rigging soon. -SZ-
