Python scripting

Warning

Maverick Indie does not support Python scripting. The following instructions are exclusive to Maverick Studio.

Overview

• Maverick Studio provides a python binding that allows the user to:
  • Programmatically access the DAG/nodes of the scene to:
    • Edit any attributes or connections.
    • Create/edit materials, maps, lights, ...
    • Synchronize the IPR with said changes.
    • ...
  • Programmatically control certain UI actions to:
    • Open/Save scenes.
    • Run a still/timeline/turntable render.
    • Terminate the application afterwards.
    • ...

Remarks

• Our python binding is generally very succint, yet fairly complete for run-of-the-mill use cases.
• The python binding does not allow to extend the application's UI in any way.
• Built-in documentation for the python binding can be accessed within Maverick Studio:
  • Via the command MK_api.help() in the python panel.
  • Typing help() in the inline command editbox in the statusbar.
