Assign Surface Shader- Python

Posted by Vijay Lakshmanan on

Hey all!
Here is another small script that ive written. Provides an easy way to assign RGBA surface shaders to objects in your scene. Select between options of assigning the shaders to all objects in the scene, or assigning based on your selection. Selection should be based on the order you want the shaders to be applied. For instance if you choose R, G and B shaders, then the order of applying shader will be R, followed by G, followed by B, then R, G, B, and so on.

Unzip the files to [MAYA_INSTALLED_PATH]/bin and run the following code in maya:-

import surfaceShader as ss
reload(ss)
ss.vjSurfaceShader()

Assign Surface Shader

Tested for Maya 2011, and 2012.(Yet to for earlier versions.)

C&C(comments and critiques!) welcome.

Cheers!

Facial GUI Python Script.

Posted by Vijay Lakshmanan on

Hey! Here is a follow up to my previous post. I had implemented that in MEL. Right after that, i discovered the joys of using Python! Its much faster and cooler, imo! Anyways here is the script. Unzip the rar file and paste the *.pyc and the *.ui file in [Maya_Installed_Path]/bin.

Now in maya, type the following code in the Python tab and run it. You could also save it to shelf and run it from there.
import facialGUI as gui
reload(gui)
gui.vjFacialGUI()

Facial GUI

C&C welcome.

Cheers!

Here are some WIP shots of what ive started modeling. Got the concept from a random google image search. The site name watermarked at the bottom of the image goes to a Chinese site. So no idea whom to give credit to for that. Anyways here’s how far Ive got.

Will keep updating as i go.
