If necessary, you can extend this to make your own integration module. The main pre condition - Should be used Python2.7.

Houdini features

• Code completion for all modules and return types (remastered hou library)
• Context completion for functions CreateNode, CreateInputNode and CreateOutputNode with existing houdini node types
• Context completion string for absolute houdini internal path and node parameters. To use this complete start string with "/ or '/
• Drag&Drop Houdini nodes and parameters fills in their path. Use Alt modifier to wrap node or parameter as code like in Houdini Python Shell.
• Reading and writing to PythonSOP code and asset sections

Nuke features

• Code completion for all modules and return types (remastered nuke library)
• Context completion for createNode with existing Nuke node types
• Context completion for function toNode with existing nodes in current script
• Converting selected nodes to code with function nuke.toNode
• Searching and converting nodes to code from clipboard
• Reading and writing from PythonKnobs code

Maya features

• Save code to shelf and accept dropped shelf button code, like default Maya script editor
• Drag&Drop Maya nodes fills in their names. Use Alt modifier to wrap node as code. Import PyMEL before doing this!
• Context completion for function PyNode with existing nodes in current scene
• Context completion for function pm.createNode and cmds.createNode with existing Maya node types

3DsMax features

• Works for now...

How to install

Standalone Houdini install Maya install Nuke install 3DsMax install

You can use single module installation for each case. Just extract module multi_script_editor to somewhere (no spaces and non ascii characters in path) and add this path to PYTHONPATH before start your app.

For example:

Extract to '/home/username/myscripts/multi_script_editor'

Add this path to PYTHONPATH environment variable

Windows:

set PYTHONPATH=c:/users/username/myscripts

Linux

export PYTHONPATH=/home/username/myscripts

Python

os.environ['PYTHONPATH'] = '/home/username/myscripts'

Do this for each app.
