CG Widgets

CG Widgets is a collection of DCC agnostic widgets designed for the CG Industry.  These widgets are written for VFX Reference Platform 2021 and are written in qtpy to ensure that they can be used across all DCCs using both PyQt5 and PySide2.

CG Widgets use a foundation of base widgets that are designed to mimic specific data types, such as float, integer, boolean, string, etc, and are used to build more complex widgets.

Script Manager Architecture

The Script Manager Architecture is designed with two main purposes in mind, the first is as the name implies, to manage scripts.  The second is to act as a bridge between the people creating tools and those using them. It does this by creating an intuitive interface for developers to use to place their tools in for users to access.

Model View Architecture

The Model View Architecture is designed to be an abstraction layer on top of Qt's model view delegate architecture.  Its main purpose is to provide a simpler interface for viewing models, handling events, filtering models, etc.  A basic example of the Model View Widget (MVW) can be seen below, where we can see it has two modes, tree, and list.

Base Input Widgets

The base input widgets are the foundation that everything inside of CG Widgets is built around. These widgets are the entry point where users can input data to be received by the application.
