Hi Mr Chris! Aaron Here,

woah this stuff is way over my head,

Just an idea, what about using Maya to update rendering status to a web page? For example while maya is rendering a clip, it could keep updating a web page with current status and maybe last rendered image. That would be awesome! Or maybe a web based renderManager!! Controling multiple instances of maya from a webpage to help with rendering! Just a thought

Hi Aaron, there are existing render-farm programs that provides web interface.

In fact, a service or daemon can be setup and run on the machine (Windows, Linux…) to monitor and send data to the server; as long as a commandPort is opened from Maya to allow information to flow between itself and the service / daemon.

It’s interesting to see you posting at my forum; despite it is not fully up. Do come back for more tutorials…

I’m interested in importing a Maya file into maya using a button from a webbrowser. I can’t seem to get the syntax right for calling the Maya file from “call sendcommand” OR “MEL.execute”.
Example
call sendcommand(file -import c:/temp/test.mb)

I have also made a simple script that imports the file but again, i can’t seem to get the right syntax to call the MEL script either

Example
call sendcommand(file -open c:/temp/openfile.mel)

Any ideas?
Any help is grealty appreciated
Thanks
Robert

Hi sorry for the late reply. I thought I have posted but the reply was in my sent box.
Following is a sample code for you.
It will work for you as long as you have installed the plugin correctly. good luck.

<html>
<head>
<title>Load Maya Files</title>
</head>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" SRC="MayaWebTools.js"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function load_mayafile(){
MWT_Execute(‘file -f -options "v=0;p=17" -ignoreVersion -typ "mayaBinary" -o "C:/cam.ma";’);
}
</SCRIPT>
<body onload="MWT_Embed(‘MCP’,'commandportDefault’);">
<H1>Load Maya Files</H1>
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
<input type="button" value="load" onmouseup="load_mayafile();"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
