Sorry for the little size of the presentation video...CG_Editors are designed to be shown with a width of 800 px.

Dowloads :

CG Editors XSI7 win32 (67Ko)

Concept :

Each time I was using the built-in Action editor or Template editor, I was surprised of how poor the grid implementation is. No filtering or search feature, no way to show/hide columns, untyped sorting (the one that will display 10 before than 2... because it works only with strings). So I used the Grid PPGItem and I wrote a little library that will add all the features we can see in modern data grids.

My GridItem library handles :

  • Multi-Edit
  • Per-page display (choosing the number of items per page)
  • Typed sorting
  • Columns visibilities
  • Columns re-ordering
  • Custom filters list per columns
  • Undo/Redo Grid edits
  • Multi edit Box with Abs/Add/Add% modes (such as the XSI's weight editor)

Then I wrote some editors using this library :

  • Action Editor
  • Expression Editor
  • Template Editor
  • Constraints Editor (WIP)
  • X3DObject Spreadsheet (WIP)

Usage :

The plugins adds the "CG_Editors" menu Item in XSI's main menu, you can then choose the needed editor for your needs. Then I think the usage of the editors are quite self-explanatory.

Possible Updates :

I'm still working on Constraints Editor and X3DObject Spreadsheet, that will not be available in the current realease.
