Pymel vs cmds

[Pedro Domingo]

Hi everybody,

first post here, so hi to everyone!!!

I'm a bit confused so I wanted to hear from all of you about the use of pymel vs cmds. At my actual studio, I have developed all the rig pipeline (WIP) and tools for this department. First I created everything cmds based, calling for nodes through name strings. At this point, everything worked fine. The thing is, since I read some good stuff about pymel I decided to move everything to pymel. Basically object based.

In some cases is good, others processes are slower than cmds, but in the end everything works smoothly.

So my question is, what do you think?I'm talking about rigging obviously. Better use cmds only? Object based rules? Both of them? I can asume pymel is not so good if you are thinking in a global python mind, connecting with other softwares or moving tools to other softwares for the future but in my actual case is not the point.

I am in this moment where I can manage all this changes, in a few months will be impossible (3405897234956298 million thousand code lines is not the same!!!)

Thanks to everyone!
