Hi all, I’m just starting to flesh out a new MetaClass Python API aimed at managing and wrapping data to a Maya MetaNode system. All data is serialized to Maya network nodes so is stored with the scene. There’s handling for JSON serializing of complex data and retrieving that data back in a very neat and simple Pythonic manner, getting the data back directly from the Maya node but in a completely seamless way.

Any, here’s an initial video of the thing, just an initial fleshing out, the long term aim to to provide a generic method of managing complex Maya rig structures and marking data without you having to write your own API. So you’d make an mClass rig node and hook the rig up to that making retrieval of controllers etc a doddle!
Anyway, all comments welcomed, the code is under the download link on my blog, v1.24
cheers
