This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

Code:
import maya.cmds as cmds

def main():
window = cmds.window(title='open file')

You need to have scnOpenFile return the chosenFile. Once that's done, save it to a variable in main, then set the text box's label to it.


Imagination is more important than knowledge.

See global proc int fileBrowser in fileBrowser.mel in Maya's scripts/others directory.
