Is it possible to get Scene Viewer as Qt Widget with Python?

One can dream! It would be cool to have that ability in Houdini but we're not there yet.

Why do you need it?

We (SideFX) don't really need it.

But I can see users taking advantage of a more scriptable UI with PySide and PyQt.

Ok, I have a python function for that

Are there any concerns that ui python might slow things down? Kind of like with maya, considering 16 is already quite sluggish, compared to 15.

What do you mean exactly? Do you mean Python-based UI running slowly in Houdini? Or that introducing more Python-based UI will further slow down all of Houdini?

Also, if Houdini 16 is running sluggish then please submit a bug if you haven't already and provide a test case as well as your system info. Solid benchmark tests that we can reproduce here will help us nail down the issues.

LOL… sotry continues…

Looks like hou.ui.mainQtWindow() is the way to go.

main window != scene viewer widget
