Yeah I feel the same but thought I should offer the PyQt to those who have it or can install it. I did know that if I didn't have the PPG based one I'd hear about it too. :)
I have the same one working Maya as well and like I said in the video wih a few sub-classes and few lines of code you can get it working in whatever other application you want to. You could even use the renamer class for file renaming in another pipeline tool if you wanted as well. Having the same tools across the studio in all apps is something that is being pushed here lately as well. A native PyQt / PySide implementation is a must IMO. -------------------------------------------- Eric Thivierge http://www.ethivierge.com On Wed, Oct 17, 2012 at 11:45 AM, Jeremie Passerin <gerem....@gmail.com>wrote: > Thanks for sharing Eric ! > I love the fact that you have both a Softimage and Qt UI integration :D > > I would really love to see a native Qt implementation in XSI. > I feel bad right now sharing tools that require another plugin > installation... and in the meanwhile I am know using pyQt on a daily basis > and really don't see myself going back to Softimage UI...
