- Main article: RL Python Samples.
- ⚠ If your assets are part of a hierarchical structure, then a QT tree widget would be more suitable
This article will go over the creation of a table widget for listing all the standard lights in the scene; their name, active state, multiplier, and color attributes. To top it off, we will add a refresh button to the window to update the light list to the current state of the scene.
Necessary Modules
Besides the fundamental Reallusion Python module, we'll also need Pyside2 to build the user interface. But we don't need the entire Pyside2 module for this simple example, so I'll just import QtWidgets for building the user interface and wrapInstance to bind the iClone dialog window to the Pyside2 interface.
import RLPy
from PySide2 import QtWidgets
from PySide2.shiboken2 import wrapInstance
