QT

I finally got PySide and PyQT successfully installed to work with Maya. I built a test GUI in QT and now trying to write code to make the GUI work. I am trying to build a UI that loads all the blendshapes in a list, allows you to build three types of nurbs face controllers, allows you to load the inverted corrective of two shapes, and also builds a node system that chooses what shape to trigger depending on where you are when using the box type controller. I originally looked at the jsFacialWin UI by Judd Simantov. I couldn't find the script to get ideas so I am building something that will be useful to me or others using blendshapes. Since I am using the BCS for the faces I am working on, I will see if I can connect the sliders also to the shape list. I'm excited to see the results of this UI and coding test.
