The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
4,329 films were submitted to the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. This blog had 13,000 views in 2012. If each view were a film, this blog would power 3 Film Festivals
The first thing I do once I buy a new computer is to put it to test to see how it performs when it comes to rendering complex 3d scene. Being a technical artist, its our job to innovate the most efficient workflow to get the best out of the available resources. So what If a 3d rendering task is thrown at the Raspberry Pi?
Hello Everyone. I always thought the next post would be something more like an apology for the lack of updates from my end. But, since the current schedule at work place is gonna stay the same for couple of months more, I felt I should give you all a quick update to inform you all that “I will be back” with more interesting stuff once I am relieved from the current tasks which I am assigned to, at R&H. Most of you might have seen the trailer for the feature that is currently in production in our studio. For the ones who missed it, check it out here
SIP needs to be built prior to building PyQt.
Download SIP from here
Maya 2012 uses Qt 4.7.1.
Download it from here
Download PyQt from here
First step is to build qt from source. Extract the tarball and CD in to the directory
./configure
While running configure, if you get the following error
Basic XLib functionality test failed!
You might need to modify the include and library search paths by editing
QMAKE_INCDIR_X11 and QMAKE_LIBDIR_X11 in /home/anoop/apps/sources/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.1 /mkspecs/linux-g++-64.
install teh libXext development package. I used zypper to install the package from the web
zypper install xorg-x11-libXext-devel
executing the configure after the installation gave the following error
cannot find -lXrender
this was happening because configure couldn’t find libXrender.so. This can be fixed by creating a symlink to libXrender.so.1 in the /usr/lib64 directory
ln -s /usr/lib64/libXrender.so.1 /usr/lib64/libXrender.so
After successful configuration run the following to install Qt to /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.7.1 directory
make
make install
Building SIP
Extract the SIP zip archive to /home/username/SIP
cd /home/username/SIP
After setting the variables, run the following
/usr/autodesk/maya2012/bin/mayapy configure.py
make
make install
Building PyQt
Extract the archive to /home/username/PyQt-x11-gpl-4.7.4
cd PyPyQt-x11-gpl-4.7.4
/usr/autodesk/maya2012/bin/mayapy configure.py -q /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.7.1/bin/qmake
make -j4
make install
For windows users, PyQt 4.8.5 built against Qt4.7.1 and SIP4.12.4 for Maya2012 x64.can be downloaded here . And like I mentioned in the last post, links to the respective sources are included below.
PyQt 4.8.5 built against Qt4.7.1 and SIP4.12.4 for Maya2012 x64. download it here . In case you want to build PyQt on your own you can download the sources here.
