This is a library of python scripts which are used by pipeline TD's or Dept TD's regularly.

This project was created with a goal to have a custom lib for dcc packages which are being used in a studio and have regularly used functions written in a common dir for ease of access.

For Novice

For Technical Director There are many instances where TD's write maya scripts , these methods
can be used to quickly get some jobs done without writing the same lines
over and over again in every maya python script.

For Techhical TroubleShooting Methods from these can be used for quick trouble shooting of the scene
file in your dcc package.
Makes the process of finding the problem faster.

examples: Use in Python Scripts / DCC script editor

import dcclib.mayalib as ml
import dcclib.nukelib as nl
import dcclib.blenderlib as bl

Usage inside the DCC appliacation.

Setup before launch (Describe this later)
NUKE:
add in nuke.pluginAddPath() in init file
MAYA :
add in PYTHONPATH ??

After launching your dcc application. Add the path where your dcclib module is present in sys.path

Place these inside the init.py file of nuke.

import dcclib.nukelib as nl

# MODULE : scene
nl.scene.delete_all_nodes()
nl.scene.deselect_all_nodes()
help(nl.scene.list_disabled_nodes)

# MODULE : node
selNode = nuke.selectedNode()
nl.node.isEnabled(selNode)
nl.node.isUsingLifetime(selNode)
nl.node.getAllInputs(selNode)
nl.node.__name__   # Module name : 'dcclib.nukelib.node'
nl.node.__doc__    # Module docstring
nl.node.__file__   # Module File path 
nl.node.__class__  # <type 'module'>

# MODULE : gui
nl.gui.NukeWindow()
nl.gui.list_node_menus()
nl.gui.list_nuke_menus()
nl.gui.registerUi()

# MODULE : vray
nl.vray.list_vray_nodes()

To view more examples, NUKE

Place this inside the userSetup.py file of maya.

import dcclib.mayalib as ml

# To get dcclib maya modules info
ml._modules(ml)             # List custom dcclib.mayalib modules
ml._modules(ml, all=True)   # List all modules in dcclib.mayalib


ml.scene.get_scene_name()
ml.scene.get_workspace_path()
