Ok, sounds great. I hadn't seen that Zvgui app!
To be clear, AnimSchool Picker is a Maya plug-in, not a standalone app.
One helpful thing: when you use the Maya manipulator hotkeys when in the
Picker window, Maya responds to them normally, which is very handy for
workflow. (If it's a totally separate app like abxPicker which we had
been using, it doesn't. So when you select something and want to switch
to rotate mode, you have to click in the interface to be back in Maya.)

its not pyqt at all.. he said its XNA.
regardless the same concept should be done with pure pyqt, ie. an
editor, custom buttons, and the ability to execute any code on those
buttons, some sort of external format for saving a gui out, the
ability to know its environment and execute maya code or softimage
code, etc

I believe Paolo did some custom work with that gui as well. At
least that's what I remember he told me so that isn't just
straight vanilla PyQt. FYI.

made... but this is what i have always wanted now that pyqt
and cross platform development is more easy.

Hi David,
Im very happy to help and lend a hand, have done lots of
pyQt for softimage pipeline programs over the years.
For Qt to work in Softimage you have to have Jo's + Steves
Qt plugin, if your cool with that Ill gladly help
script/port it.
Cheers

Hello! We recently announced we are releasing this
great Maya Picker GUI plug-in to the community as a
promotion.
http://www.animschool.com/Uploads/homepagemedia/AnimSchoolPickerBanner5RGBWeb.jpg
It's done using Qt. We have a wonderful programmer
involved, but he's not familiar with Softimage.
Would anyone care to guess if any/some parts would be
portable to Softimage? Or care to throw their hat in
the ring for a potential conversion to Softimage?
This is somewhat similar to the synoptic, but much
more dynamic and easy to author.
Thanks,
