Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold
This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

Python TreeView

Using Python and Maya's treeView control, I've defined a class for my UI and some methods to handle various portions of it. One method in particular is called by another and loops through a list of subfolders found in a specified path, each folder will be added to the treeView and any subfolders found are parented to the appropriate tree item. I've even gotten over the hump with the treeView not accepting duplicate items by prefixing the item's label with the parent folder(if it's a duplicate).

The list is populated fine and to test if the the tree item is pointing to the right directory, I'm passing a string containing the path to a method attached to the control. The string is printed when the tree item is selected but I'm getting the last value assigned in the loop instead. I have this same path set to be printed during the for loop that adds the items to the treeView and that output is correct but not when called from interacting with the UI? Am I making a noobie mistake?

Code:
  	# Other class methods above
  	
  	def folderContents(self , parentLayout):
  	
  		'''
  		loops through all tabs in list, creating folder trees
  		'''
  		
  		# let's start looping through tab list
  		for label in self.tabs:
  
  			self.tabForm = mc.formLayout(p = parentLayout)
  			self.masterTab = mc.tabLayout(parentLayout, e = True , tl = (self.tabForm, label))
  			self.folderTree = mc.treeView((label + "_scrollList") ,numberOfButtons = 1 , arp = 0 , enk = 1)
  			
  			mc.formLayout(self.tabForm , e = 1 , 
  			af = [(self.folderTree , "left" , 0),
  			(self.folderTree , "right" , 0),
  			(self.folderTree , "top" , 0),
  			(self.folderTree , "bottom" , 0)])
  			
  			# get all files and subfolders
  			for dirName, subdirList, fileList in os.walk(self.mainPath + label):
  				
  				# get folder name to use as label for tree item
  				self.folderName = os.path.basename(os.path.normpath(dirName))
  				
  				# however, if the the folder name starts with a . or _ , ommit it
  				if not (self.folderName.startswith('.') or self.folderName.startswith('_')):
  					
  					# check if there is already an item with that name, if true, prefix lable with parent folder's name
  					self.parentName = os.path.basename(os.path.dirname(dirName))
  					if mc.treeView(self.folderTree , q = 1 , iex = self.folderName):
  						self.folderName = (self.parentName "_" + self.folderName)
  					
  					# going to be passing folder path to method that creates folder's content ctrls
  					self.path = (dirName + "\\")
  					
  					# now let's start adding items to the treeView
  					mc.treeView( self.folderTree, e = 1 , ai = (self.folderName , self.parentName))
  					
  					# edit the tree entry after establishing it or face errors yay - adding select change command and icon
  					mc.treeView( self.folderTree, e = 1 ,
  					i = [self.folderName, 1, self.folderIcon ] ,
  					scc = lambda:self.updateThumbList(self.path , self.folderName))
  					
  					# tidy things up a bit ,collapse subfolders of the parent category
  					if not self.folderName in self.tabs:
  						mc.treeView( self.folderTree, e = 1 , ei = [self.folderName, 0])
  					
  					# making sure tree item points to correct path
  					print("folder \"" + self.folderName + "\" is at " + self.path)
  					
  					
  					
  	def updateThumbList(self , path , folderName):
  		'''
  		populates thumbnail layout for a given folder >.> if it ever works
  		for now, test if ctrl points to right path
  		'''
  		print("folder " + folderName + " is at " + path)
  		
  		return ""
