PUBLIC
all scripts have been tested with Maya 4.5 but should work with higher versions.
version : 1.5
description : This script allows you to report the animation of an object to another object. BUT this script does not simply copy & paste keys. It keeps world informations such as translations and rotations of the destination object and ADD it those of the reference animated object.
Great, for example, for copying character movements to another character,
witch is different and on another place in the world space.
version : 1.1
description : ATR is a connection between Maya and Adobe Photoshop. It allows you to paint a texture in Photoshop and a have a quasi realtime feedback in your Maya OpenGL viewport or IPR window.
You can paint any channel such as color, bump or specular and view the result in an IPR window for example.
By this way, you can see the result of your texture painting directly on your objects.
NOTE : Works only with Photoshop 7 ENGLISH version for the moment.
version : 2.0
description : Like in traditional animation, BeautyLine allows you to view and work with the Movement Line of your objects. This script allows you to switch from a keyfamed animation to a curve based animation and vice versa. It creates a curve point corresponding to each keyframe of your object. By this way, you don't animate with keyframe but with a curve. If you want to add more control on your object, you just have to add points on the curve. It's like adding a key on a keyframed animation.
version : 2.6
description : FaceStudio is an interface to work easily with blend shapes. It includes many controls, usefull functions and a special OpenGL panel.
version : 1.0
description : Get'n Set Pose is a tool designed for create character poses and retrieve them whenever you want.
It has multiple uses :
- for animating : to create animation poses bank
- for skinning, mapping etc: to create for example bind pose for mapping, skinning different from the one
defined by the skeleton bind pose.
version : 2.0
description : Generate noise on polygonal objects.
There is now 3 noise types :
- On Point : Method implented in v.1.0
- On Point Smoothed : the same but with a smooth function
- Box Enveloppe : Faster mode with better results - usefull for heavy models.
version : 2.0
description : This is just a little and simple Melscript to add or replace a prefix on the name of your objects.

version : 1.0
description : 4 tools for SyFlex cloth simulator :
- Cache Cleaner
- Collision Fix
- Simulation Baker
- Custom Pin
version : 1.0
description : Project Note is a little script that allows you to create and view notes ( comments, modifications and suggestions ) attached to a project. No more paper or external software, every project can have its own notes in the Maya environment. Very useful for team work and to have every informations in your work environment. The script creates and loads automaticaly attached to project notes. It is very simple.
