While working on a new tool inside of Maya, it gets very annoying to have to continually reload the python module or close out Maya and reload it every time you want to see a change to it. At least I do. Especially when Maya is loaded down with all kinds of other tool bars/scripts/etc […]
Mosaic Render Program
I’ve completed everything I set out to do for my mosaic render program. Now that it’s officially done, I can begin working on some of the other features I’ve thought of while building it. This was written in python with PyQt4, sqlite3, pil. I’m happy with the initial work on […]
VLC Capture Tool
While working on my Mosaic Image Generator, I realized I was going to need to generate a few thousand images. No better place to get images then from a video source. Now there are a few programs out there that will do this, but they wanted my money. VLC is free and comes with command […]
PyQt4 Class Inheritance
There are a few ways for PyQt4 to be inherited by the class that is being constructed and until recently I hadn’t noticed any different between one method over the other.
Python RLE Encoding
While working through one of the various planning stages of a new section of one of my projects, I realized that I was going to have a lot of integers on hand that repeated frequently. I know I’m going to need these lists at a later time, so my two options is to save it […]
Tutorial: GIT and Bluehost
After doing searching around for instructions and tutorials on how to set up git on my web server (Bluehost), I realized that the various directions needed where scattered. I’ve taken from the best references that I found and compiled it into a single tutorial from start to finish. It can be found under the tutorials […]
TagBox Fun
This was rather fun to put together. It still needs some work. The Autocomplete suggests wigs the heck out and crashes the whole thing with no information provided. I can also set it up to change the X to another symbol; though I’d like to change it over to an icon. There’s also a […]
Triple Booting a Macbook + Storage Space
After my Macbook pro failed last year and it’s internals were replaced, I didn’t bother with putting windows back onto the laptop. Recently though, I’ve realized I did need some form of windows on the laptop. I gave virtual box a try but running windows inside of virtual box was rather slow and not exactly […]
Autosave for Photoshop
Photoshop is one of those programs that likes to crash frequently. In fact the more important the current image you are working on, the greater the chance of Photoshop crashing. There is also a greater chance of you failing to remember to save your file sometime in the last three or four hours. Wouldn’t […]
Running PyQt4 Scripts on Snow Leopard
Calling python scripts from the terminal window run fine. But when running python scripts with PyQt4 embedded, they require a little more then just ‘python script.py’. This may be from the previous entry on how the PyQt4 was installed, but regardless this information has been gleaned from the internet: arch -i386 python2.6 %pathToScript% Without the […]
