Programming/Scripting in XSI

#1

Hi guys,

I just switched into XSI as for a job, I’m a Rigging TD in Max, Maya and I got a question for scripters in XSI :

I looked into XSI’s SDK doc but couldn’t find the syntaxes refrence there, what i could see was only discription which was so good but as i said no refrence for syntax which i use them to write my codes!, any help for it ?

Also what scripting or programming language you perefer me to use in XSI for my character GUIs and tools ?

It would be aprociated to see your replies.

I use python for my scripts. If you are going to be making synoptic GUIs for your rigs, I think you need to use jscript. You can see many coding examples in the SDK Help. If you put your cursor on a word in the script editor and hit F1 it should bring you to the help page for that particular command and give you examples of usage.

Thanks Eric, it helped.

Also if I use Python too, then can i use QT for GUIs in XSI? Or I have to use ActiveX controller with Python?

Cheers,

I think there is some kind of way to use QT, but I have never done it. The most common way to build UI’s is to create custom properties and use that for the UI.

There’s no windows 64bit version of QT, so I’m not sure if that would affect you…
