Man head sculpt. Anatomy practice.

Started as quicksculpt, but later decided to spend more time on it.

PyQt application template

This is template for PyQt application. It's good point to start studying PyQt.

• create ui-file in QtDesigner
• save it to disk
• replace 'c:/test.ui' with real path to created ui
• execute py-file. Make sure to run it with pythonw, not with python. In this case, command window will not pop up (on windows system).

from PyQt4 import QtGui, uic import sys # replace 'c:/test.ui' with real path to ui-file created in QtDesigner uifile = 'c:/test.ui' form, base = uic.loadUiType(uifile) class testQtWindow(QtGui.QMainWindow): def __init__(self, parent=None): QtGui.QWidget.__init__(self, parent) self.ui = form() self.ui.setupUi(self) def main(): app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv) myapp = testQtWindow() myapp.show() sys.exit(app.exec_()) if __name__=="__main__": main()

Split face between selected vertices in MAYA

This MEL-script splits face between selected vertices. Both vertices should belong to one face. New adge will be constructed between selected verts.

Usage:
     - copy script to you scripts directory
     - source it in MAYA (or reboot maya)
     - select to vertices on mesh
     - run command isplitByVertex or place it on shelf
Download script

Switch wireframe on shaded.

One more small script. Now to use shelf button to switch wireframe on shaded mode. Instead of Shading->Wireframe on shaded menu.
Usage:
- make new shelf button with script text (python command)
- press "5" to turn shaded view in current MAYA viewport
- press created shelf button
It turns on and off wireframe on objects in current viewport.

Align pivots in Maya

This script allows you to copy object pivot translation and rotation from one object to another one. How to use:
 - copy code to the script editor "Python tab"
 - select source object
 - select target object
 - execute script
Works on multiple selection. Align all object pivots with last selected.

Extract poly component index in 1 string.

To extract index of maya polycomponent (face, edge or vertex) you can use the following expression. Python power is awesome.

edgeIndex = str(edge).split('[')[1].split(']')[0]
