pn_createProxyGeo.py for Maya

With this script you can generate low-res cubes on a selection of rig controls, which will follow the animation. This way, you can hide your rig, speed up the viewport and get a better sense of the timing of your animation.

You will receive the .py script file.

description

# This script automatically constrains a polyCube to any selected control curves.

# This way, you can hide the rig and still see the general movement.

# Helps to judge timing and to retime your animation by making Maya much more responsive.

how to use

# Put the script into your documents/maya/scripts folder.

# In the Python command line, write:

import(pn_createProxyGeo)

# To execute, use this command:

pn_createProxyGeo.createProxyGeo()

# (Or put these two lines on a button or shortcut.)

# As a starting point, the cube scale will try to match the dimensions of the control curves.

# You can always scale and move the cubes afterwards to better match the volumes of your rig.
