Exporter & Importer for ngSkinTools v1

Hi how are you, it's been a while since I've posted anything. After researching and asking a colleague about how to automate the task of importing and exporting layers from ngSkinTools. I managed to import the .json files and place them in the layers. A somewhat easy task, but complicated and tedious if there are several meshes to import.

TO DO:

• Import Mode: Closest, ID, UV

The code:

	import maya.cmds as mc
	import os
	import json
	from ngSkinTools.importExport import LayerData,JsonExporter,JsonImporter
	#Func
	def getCurrentRoot():
	filepath = mc.file(q=True, sn=True)
	filename = os.path.basename(filepath)
	path = filepath.replace(filename,'')
	return path
	def progressBarWindow(name,elems=None,single=None,step=0,open=False,close=False,textProg='Progress'):
	if open == True:
	if len(elems) >= 1:
	mc.window(name,t=name + ' Progress')
	mc.window(name,e=True,w=300,h=50)
	mc.columnLayout(rs=10,adj=1,cat=['both',10])
	mc.text(name + 'text',l='Waiting input')
	mc.progressBar(name + 'ProgBar',maxValue=len(elems)-1)
	mc.showWindow(name)
	if step >= 1:
	mc.progressBar(name + 'ProgBar', edit=True, step=step)
	mc.text(name + 'text',e=True,l=textProg + single)
	if close == True:
	try:
	mc.deleteUI(name)
	except:
	pass
	#Def
	def exportLayers(self):
	path = getCurrentRoot()
	meshes = mc.ls('*_mesh')
	progressBarWindow('ngExport',meshes,open=True)
	for mesh in meshes:
	layerData = LayerData()
	try:
	layerData.loadFrom(mesh)
	exporter = JsonExporter()
	jsonContents = exporter.process(layerData)
	jj = json.loads(jsonContents)
	with open(path + mesh.replace('_mesh','_skin') + '.json', 'w') as outfile:
	json.dump(jj,outfile,sort_keys=True,indent=4,separators=(',', ': '))
	progressBarWindow('ngExport',step=1,single=mesh,textProg='Exporting... ')
	except:
	continue
	progressBarWindow('ngExport',close=True)
	def importLayers(self):
	path = getCurrentRoot()
	meshes = mc.ls('*_mesh')
	progressBarWindow('ngImport',meshes,open=True)
	for mesh in meshes:
	try:
	with open(path + mesh.replace('_mesh','_skin') + '.json', 'r') as outfile:
	data = json.load(outfile)
	data = json.dumps(data)
	importer = JsonImporter()
	layerData = importer.process(data)
	layerData.saveTo(mesh)
	progressBarWindow('ngImport',step=1,single=mesh,textProg='Importing... ')
	except:
	continue
	progressBarWindow('ngImport',close=True)
	#UI
	width = 250
	height = 50
	if mc.window('ngExportImportWin',ex=True):
	mc.deleteUI('ngExportImportWin')
	mc.window('ngExportImportWin',t='ngSkinTools Export/Import',minimizeButton=False,maximizeButton=False,sizeable=0)
	mc.window('ngExportImportWin',e=1,w=width,h=height)
	mc.frameLayout(lv=0)
	mc.separator(h=1,w=width)
	mc.text('It will export all the layers contained\nin skinCluster and then import them')
	mc.separator(h=2,style='in',w=width)
	mc.radioButtonGrp(label='Mode',cw4=[width/4,width/4,width/4,width/4],labelArray3=['Closest','ID','UV'],nrb=3,h=15,sl=1,en=0)
	mc.rowLayout(nc=2)
	mc.button(l='Export Layers',h=30,bgc=[1,0.701,0.023],w=width/2,c=exportLayers)
	mc.button(l='Import Layers',h=30,bgc=[0.051,0.604,0.558],w=width/2,c=importLayers)
	mc.showWindow()
