Hi,

I have been using MEL to create GUI for my tools and found vxPython
and I think it`s prety cool and it`s free.
Anyone have experiance with vxPython for GUI creation for maya? If
it`s not the best... what do you guys think is the best module for
GUI..well for maya.

Thank you,

Jamie Macdougall

hey,
I don't know about vxPython, only wxPython. Autodesk is moving their
UIs over to QT though, so maybe that is a good option.
cheers

And todays news that Qt is going LGPL may speed up a lot of other
developers adoption.

is there any way to get qt to work inside 8.5, or is that limited to 2008/python 2.5 and upwards

pyQt could not work "inside" Maya 8.5 but you can run another pyQt
program and do communication with Maya by commandPort.
