How to Compile PyQt4 for Python 2.6 AMD64 (64 bit) on Windows x64

PyQt 4.5.4 for Python 2.5 amd64 PyQt 4.5.4 for Python 2.6 amd64 Recently I've written an interface for the first time with PyQt4 in Linux for one of our pipeline related scripts. It was working very well under Linux, until I decided to check how it is going to look under Windows x64. Well, it didn't take too long for me to recognize that there is no PyQt4 for Python 2.5 amd64. So I decided to compile my own. By the way you will see that I started for Python 2.5 but compiled for Python 2.6, it is just because, in a panic mode I've installed Maya 2010 to see if the package I found for PyQt4 for Python 2.6 amd64 for Windows x64 will work under. But no it wasn't ( actually it was, but I didn't know that I should add the path that contains the Qt DLLs to environment path ). So I dived in to compiling PyQt4 for Python2.6 amd64 for Windows x64. Here you can find the How-To of that compilation... You need these packages and programs: MS Visual Studio 2008 Python 2.6 amd64

Round Corners in Houdini

It's been a while since my last post, sorry about that... I was playing with Houdini for the last 1 year, did a couple of jobs with it. It saved my ass a couple of times and I can say that I completely felt in love with it, and I really felt sorry for the years I spent without Houdini. Anyway, after a while later I decided to try to complete the jobs more and more with Houdini and try to go away from Maya a little bit. I'm not going to enter the valley of the differences of the two programs and how awesome Houdini is etc. but I need to say that it feels awesome. Yet, there is another job that I need to finish up (the deadline is tomorrow). The job is about a tire brand etc. Lets cut the chase, the object was not looking good just because they've sent us the production model that they are using to produce the product in the factory, and you now this kind of nurbs models are a little bit too perfect, has sharp edges and a lot of details. In Maya, to break this perfection,

Production Asset Management (ProdAM) & Shotgun

I found that they call Production Asset Management (ProdAM) System to the systems that we need for our animation studio to track the files, collaborate each other and schedule the tasks. I've red a lot of books about asset management systems last two months. Most of them were explaining the systems those has been used for the media companies, like systems that works like a librarian for you and find the media (image, video etc.) that has the keywords you've entered, but doesn't essentially track the new versions of it and doesn't have any collaboration or scheduling functionality. One of the books was "Implementing a Digital Asset Management System" . It explains how to choose a right system, and prepare your staff for it. Although, I first thought that it is going to explain how to write one :). What the book offers for an animation studio is simply to use AlienBrain . There are examples of studios who implemented their own solution, like ImageWorks and thei
