Hi! I have been using 3dsmax for 15 years and just this year we began switching into maya.
So as TD I am learning quite a bit of new stuff, started with mel, that was a less steep learning curve for me, but I am trying to add more and more python into my toolset..

Thing is, as new to python and its tab-guided programming (or whatever its called).. it would really come in handy to have an external solution to code
I am used to visual studio, but the plugins for MEL that i found were all for VScode, (which I just installed for the first time today, and it does look to cover my needs)
So it would be nice to have a fully intellisense maya's python in Code as well, but I am not finding anything about this so far..

What do you use for this? (I took a look at the sticky post, but nothing there seems to fit the bill)

thanks!

I think what you are wanting can be found here.


I have not set it up in Code, but have it setup in Pycharm.

I hope that is helps

Cheers,
Si
