Py3 Version for SkinMagic and SpringMagic

Both SkinMagic and SpringMagic now got Py3 version, for Maya 2022 and newer Maya version

because Pymel not a default module in new  Maya anymore, so if you met error like:

# Error: ModuleNotFoundError: file C:\Users/Administrator/Documents/maya/2023/zh_CN/scripts\springmagic\ui.py line 9: No module named ‘pymel’

Plz follow the instructions here

Plz comment in tools page if any question

Thanks!

  1. Hey, fello animator from Italy here!
    Your springMagic rocks!
    I’m trying it on maya 2027.2 (pymel version 1.5.0) but whenever I launch it as described in the HowToInstall.txt file, i get this error:
    # Error: AttributeError: file E:\Programmi\Autodesk\Maya2027\Python\Lib\site-packages\pymel\internal\plogging.py line 148: module ‘logging’ has no attribute ‘_acquireLock’

    are you able to give me a workaround or solution? That would be great, thanks.

    1. To be honest, I’m not entirely sure, and I don’t have Maya 2027.2 available for further testing. However, judging from the error log, it is very likely an incompatibility introduced by PyMEL changes in the newer Maya release.
      My suggestions are:
      1. Fall back to an older, proven Maya version.
      2. Use an AI tool to assist in debugging by feeding it the SpringMagic source code alongside the Maya traceback/error logs to let it analyze and attempt a fix.

  3. # 错误: ModuleNotFoundError: file C:/Users/Administrator/Documents/maya/scripts\springmagic\ui.py line 14: No module named ‘pymel’ #

    而后，并不能找到“ powershell”这个文件名。

    1. powershell 是 windows 自带功能，在文件夹空白处按 shift + 鼠标右键，即可在菜单中看到
      如有进一步问题，建议找个 AI 问问

  6. skinMagic和springmagic 都是PY3版本，maya2023报错： exec(open(r’C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\maya\scripts\skinMagic\skinMagic.py’).read())
    # 错误: unexpected indent
    重装了”pymel>=1.2.0,<1.3.0"这个，还是不行，之前还有个错误是这个：# 错误: OSError: file C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2023\Python\lib\site-packages\pymel\internal\parsers.py line 790: Cannot find maya documentation. Expected to find it at C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2023\docs\Maya2023\en_US
    // 错误: 解算器类型无效:“简单”。救一下呀，完全离不开这个插件

  9. Thank you so much for updating the script on PY3!
    I have 2 problems with the new version:
    1) It’s not possible to export and import weights via “vertex weight data”, it gives an error – # Error: AttributeError: file line 2935: Can’t pickle local object ‘prepareExprotVertexData..’ OR # Error: TypeError: file line 3060: ‘dict_keys’ object is not subscriptable
    2) While the script is running, it is not possible to take a step back using Ctrl-Z. I have to turn-off the script for it to work

    1. i fixed import & export skin weight issue, just re-download py3 version to confirm
      the undo issue is a bit more work, will not solve in short term
      thx for the reporting
