I was at CG Overdrive in Singapore on 2nd day, and I knew I was there just to attend Patrick Beaulieu's presentation on Animation techniques,
and it went awesome, I can say that because after 1 hour at conference I was searching for a diary, and when I found it, I started making little basic animation, and then flipping them to show it to my friends,
Wow, after 2-3 years, I animated something(just for fun),
Patrick's amazing little animations are at http://www.chevisodes.com/
Its been long long time since I posted anything on my blog.
So here is a way to send data from Python to Maya and vice versa,
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#echoFromMaya.py
import socket
import re
port = 3033
maya_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
maya_socket.connect((socket.gethostname(), port))
maya_socket.send(r'print"\nConnected to Python ...\n";')
while 1:
data = maya_socket.recv(4096)
data = data.replace("\n","")
if re.search("callPythonSocketServer",data):
print "Closing..."
break
print "Socket closed"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
in Maya,
commandPort -eo -n ":3033"; to connect to python socket
then,
print "Hi from Maya\n"; will print the string in command line, where python server is listening
and then finally, we are using this string "callPythonSocketServer" to tell python server to quit,
print "callPythonSocketServer";
Enjoy
:-)
