Search dag nodes within a Maya scene. UI filters results based on text input and updates treeView field. Used Model-View design pattern.

Import and export Maya skinCluster weights to a .xml format. UI automatically fills fields based on skinCluster selection from a pulldown menu of available skinClusters in the scene. Additional option to export .xml using minidom instead of cElementTree for a more readable format.

The easiest way to get started is to use the following helper function and change the source to your downloaded python file.

import sys
import os
 
def psource(module):
    file = os.path.basename( module )
    dir = os.path.dirname( module )
    toks = file.split( '.' )
    modname = toks[0]

    if( os.path.exists( dir ) ):
        paths = sys.path
        pathfound = 0
        for path in paths:
            if(dir == path):
                pathfound = 1
        if not pathfound:
            sys.path.append( dir )
 
    exec ('import ' + modname) in globals()
    exec( 'reload( ' + modname + ' )' ) in globals()
    return modname

psource( 'c:/Users/Tom/PycharmProjects/tbLoadSaveWeights/tbLoadSaveWeights_UI.py' )
tbLoadSaveWeights_UI.tbLoadSaveWeights_UI()

Launches a PySide UI from a Designer UI file and creates a Maya ribbon limb. Options for naming, number of joints, width, length ratio and additional fk controls. Centered control to place and addtional fk controls or nodes to constrain under a limb or spine setup.
