I'm a Software Developer and I'm in the process of creating a new Plugin for Maya 2015. My knowledge of Maya is not great, but I'm somewhat confused on best practices for structuring things. Especially since most of the examples I have looked at don't do anything like how I am planning.
Ideally I'd like to have the base plugin be in C++, and utilize Python as much as possible for the UI and outward functionality. Then if any function potentially becomes too slow, it would be easy to convert it to C++.
However, all the examples I have seen are more along the lines of:
- All C++
- C++ and Mel
- All Python
- Python and Mel
Is there a particular reason why this is the case? Is my structure not viable for some reason?
