Make group with custom name, Using Python

Alo all,

Today I will share with you another simple python code.

What does it do:

Creates an empty group in Autodesk Maya, then prompts you for a name for that group.

Here is what that code looks like:

Here is what the prompt looks like in Autodesk Maya:

Place name in the prompt the press ok. And presto, a group with your chosen name appears.

Assigns right color to right copy object all the time :D/

Revolting Rhymes

Here a sneak peak at what I've been up to this year :D

Stick Man Teaser is out :D/

Here's the short I've been working on this year....

  

Ta daaaaa

Made in SoftImage 2011 O____O Yes you hear me right... 2011.

:D

Maya....

.....after a six year sabbatical into Softimage.

So I'm crossing over to the dark side(Autodesk Maya) for my new project here at work. To be honest it hasn't been as hard as I imagined it would be... O_____O for now.

Just a screen grab of work in progress.

Also applying my limited Python knowledge now. He he he 

I have found that Maya seems improved since I last used it(version 8.5 or some thing) but it still feels less "visually friendly" then Softimage.

Maybe its just cos I'm still sad about Soft going the way of the Dodo.
