CGCircuit – Learn Python Inside Maya

Every week you will get access to 3+ hours of video content as well as example scripts, cheat sheets and UIs built in Designer for use in Maya’s PySide. The instructor is there to answer questions and share with you his experience as well as give feedback on your work.

You will learn proven production programming techniques and how to effectively and properly code using Object Oriented Programming and GUI programming using Pyside/Pyqt. If you are already familiar with Python, expect to solidify your skills and take them to the next level.

What you will gain from this workshop:

Knowledge of production skills
Proficiency in Python fundamentals that are applicable outside of Maya
Mastery of GUI programming
Direct and personal feedback on your work
Knowledge of Object Oriented Programming

Python is everywhere.
If you learn the basics here you can take them with you to other industries like web site development, game development, statistics and data analysis, science animation, etc.
In this course you’ll learn Python fundamentals that can be used in any python setting but also specifically using it inside Maya and PyQt/Pyside.

The workshop week by week

Week 1: Getting Started
You will:
– Get all your applications installed and bookmark important websites.
– Learn the history of python and various flavors of python in Maya.
– Get a tour of the Maya script editor
– Setup Maya, Sublime and QT Designer
– print statements, strings, and variables
– The dir and help commands
– Importing modules
– The xform and getAttr commands
– Translate, rotate and scale maya objects with a script.

Week 2: Fundamentals Part I
Learn about:
– Converting MEL to python with a nifty tool.
– variables
– dictionaries
– lists
– indexing and sorting
– tuples
– for loops
– if-then statements
– operators
– help() and dir(),
– strings
– enumerate()
– range()
– immutable vs. mutable

You will script the building of a model

Week 3: Fundamentals Part II
You will learn:
– functions
– arguments
– docstrings
– variables
– *args and **kwargs
– PYTHONPATH
– scope and the LEGB principle
– closures
– string formatting.

You’ll make your own module that can be run inside of maya.

Week 4: Core Concepts and Essential Kung Fu
Learn About:
– iterators
– sets
– list comprehensions
– generators
– the with statement
– Memory profiling
– installing Anaconda
– using the logging module.

Learn about:
– decorators
– partial functions
– How to design your own GUI using QT Designer
– open your UI in Maya with PySide
– naming Qt widgets,
– convert a .ui file to python

Week 7: Improving GUIs and Intro to PyMEL
– An introduction to PyMEL.
– Build an API using PyMEL,
– the pickle, and JSON modules.
– you’ll create a GUI to generate and store NURBs curve controllers as part of your final project

Week 8: Finalizing your UI and Incredibly Useful Modules
– Continue working on your Nurbs Controller UI
– Finalize your API and GUI.
– Write a command line python tool using argparse.
– Launch a subprocess from within Maya.

You will write a command line tool using Python Image Library to crop icons for the Controller GUI.
