Hey all, handy forum here thought I should sign up!
I was hoping for some advice on where to start with Python scripting for Maya. I’m trying to expand my technical skills by learning Python. I know most of Maya’s functions fairly well an have primarily worked as a modeler / texture / rigging artist. However, I really want to get into scripting.
I have worked with MEL and all through the Hypershade but haven’t really written any solid tools.
Knowing some MEL and HTML I understand some concepts of programming however I could really use some advice for some practical training. Maybe a step based tutorial, great books, good advice for practicing a language (for example when learning Spanish I like to watch movies with Spanish subtitles on!) etc…Is there any cool programs to test your knowledge and force you to learn / practice? I basically want to learn to rattle Maya from the inside out using Python.
Any advice to help me get started would be greatly appreciated!
