This tutorial will walk you through creating a Drag and Drop picker that can interact with an object's attributes in the Maya Viewport.

The main topics that we will be learning include installing event filters to catch the drag and drop action from a QListWidget to a QGroupBox, and subclassing a QGroupBox to create a custom widget that can be moved around in the work area.

This tutorial will guide you through how to offset objects through the use of nodes. We will be creating a simple UI with a QSpinBox, a QPushButton to trigger the offseting, and a frameCache node to connect the object’s translations.

Some of the topics that will be covered in this tutorial:

Creating attributes in runtime.
frameCache node.
Procedural attribute connection.
