Welcome to uPy


What is uPy?
The ubiquitous Python API (uPy),extends the Python programming language to wrap most common functions of the APIs of several computer graphics programs called hosts.

Code efficiently with uPy:
With uPy, computer programmers can develop graphical user interfaces and sophisticated plugins once and use them in any uPy wrapped host. Hosts currently include Cinema4D, Maya, Blender, PyQT, & Tkinter with partial wrapping for SoftImage.

Expand your impact with uPy:
uPy-based plug-ins developed for any of these hosts are automatically usable in all hosts supported by uPy. Write a plugin for Cinema 4D, and its instantly available for Blender and Maya as well. When new hosts (e.g., Houdini, 3D Studio Max, etc.) get wrapped by uPy, your code will function in them as well.
