ABSTRACT

As you delve into the design of custom tools and GUIs, you have a variety of options available. One of the most basic approaches to designing GUIs in Maya is to use the functionality available in the cmds module. Because the cmds module is interacting with Maya’s Command Engine, this approach should be immediately familiar. However, because the Command Engine was originally designed with MEL in mind, using commands to create a GUI can be a little cumbersome.
