Egad

One line Unreal Engine 4 (mac os) Review:
Doing Ue4 development on a Mac is not a great experience.

Update:
https://issues.unrealengine.com/issue/UE-23624 Just ran into this one... cleaning your project in XCode nukes the actual editor. Case in point.

PyMel- Getting texture file from a material

So, my first inelegant-yet-functional PyMel script is done and working. The core of it is in this little snippet here, that digs through a mesh's inputs until it finds the texture node on the surface shader: #Pass through the mesh's shape and return a texture name. import pymel as pm def getTextureFile(geo): sg = [] #Get the shading group from the selected mesh raw_sg = pm.listConnections(geo, type='shadingEngine') #Rapidly check for duplicates in the list- I do this by checking each item #against an empty list. #If the item is not in the empty list I append it. for element in raw_sg: if element not in sg: sg.append(element) #Get some info sgInfo = pm.listConnections(sg[0], type='materialInfo') fileNode = pm.listConnections(sgInfo[0], type='file') textureFile = pm.getAttr(fileNode[0].fileTextureName) print 'This is the file', str(textureFile) return str(textureFile) It st...

Scratch Pad Unity Utility.

This little guide is written for Photoshop Cs5. Other versions of Photoshop may have slightly different folder setups and listener output locations.  As discussed in a few of my earlier posts, Python is a great choice for scripting in Photoshop when coupled with a good COM interface and a desire to make monkeywork just go away . But as you are busy putting those monkeys to work it is inevitable that you will come up against a command or two that's not made available in the regular Photoshop scripting documents. CRISIS! The monkeys go on strike.  But wait, there is hope! Introducing awesomeness... The scripting listener is a brilliant plugin for Photoshop. Using it gives you access to many commands that are not included in the Photoshop scripting reference. While active (that is, present in the Automate folder) it spits out a JS and VB log of all all your actions in Photoshop. For the purposes of this guide we are only really interested  in the VB log. Getting useful Pytho...
