Snippets is a GitHub Repository I decided to create as a host to the various code snippets I use on a daily basis and that are not properly interfaced. The idea came from this Thread at CGFeedback where I provided a few Snippets: http://www.cgfeedback.com/cgfeedback/showthread.php?t=900

The Snippets are usually executed by a simple copy / paste into your target 3d Package Scripting Interpreter. Adobe Photoshop scripts must be installed into the Adobe Photoshop scripting folder:

• Mac Os X: /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS*/Presets/Scripts/
• Windows: C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Photoshop CS*PresetsScripts

Alternatively, on Maya, a Snippets Loader is provided, it requries PyQt, Foundations package available from Github: https://github.com/KelSolaar/Foundations and ordereddict Package from Pypi: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ordereddict. Launching it is done issuing the following Python code:

import sys

FOUNDATIONS_PATH = "Path/To/Foundations/Folder/Foundations/"

if FOUNDATIONS_PATH not in sys.path:
 sys.path.append(FOUNDATIONS_PATH)

LOADER_PATH = "Path/To/Snippets/Folder/Snippets/maya"

if LOADER_PATH not in sys.path:
 sys.path.append(LOADER_PATH)

import snippets.engine
snippets.engine.run()

import snippets.loader
import snippets.ui.common

LOADER = snippets.loader.Loader(snippets.ui.common.getMayaWindow())
LOADER.show()

A simple popup list ( Similar to Nuke "tab" key one ) is available by using the following Python code ( You can bind it to a shortcut ):

import sys

FOUNDATIONS_PATH = "Path/To/Foundations/Folder/Foundations/"

if FOUNDATIONS_PATH not in sys.path:
 sys.path.append(FOUNDATIONS_PATH)

LOADER_PATH = "Path/To/Snippets/Folder/Snippets/maya"

if LOADER_PATH not in sys.path:
 sys.path.append(LOADER_PATH)

import snippets.engine
snippets.engine.run()

import snippets.popup  

POPUP = snippets.popup.Popup()
POPUP.show()
