Course Description
Throughout these lessons, we'll learn that Qt is an extensive and powerful UI library that is capable of creating anything from a simple group of buttons to a full application. We'll start with an overview of the basics, using standard widgets and layouts, and connecting them together. Next, we'll build a simple naming tool that demonstrates how to quickly put together a professional-looking interface to work with Maya scripts. Finally, we'll take on a larger project that shows you how create your own custom widgets, modify their appearance and function, add animation and special effects, then seamlessly merge your tools into Maya. Software required: Maya 2015, Sublime Text 3.
