Interface Architect 1.1.0 for Maya (maya script)

Introduction

Interface Architect is a tool in Maya that helps you to visually build your GUI for your own Maya tool. No coding is required but basic knowledge of GUI programming is recommended if you want a lot of customization for your GUI. The tool provides some default elements that you can add to your GUI. These are some commonly used elements such as button, text, text field, and different types of layout. You can also add customized elements into the GUI by giving input of the element type and attributes.

The tool also allows you to manipulate your GUI within its own Architecture structure so that you do not have to keep on track of your structure in the code. Interface Architect will generate a python code* based on your Interface Architecture. You can save it anywhere, and copy it into your own code to use it. The tool allows you to preview your GUI at anytime through the process as well.
