Maya Python Script - Control Curves UI

Introduction

Tool that I made to help my personal workflow for creating rigging controls. I'm releasing it in hopes that others find it as helpful as I do. This product comes as is and is free to use however you see fit.

Features

+ 34 different shapes to create

+ Creates controls as a parent/child of selected objects, in world space at selected objects, or at the origin.

+ Thickness option creates controls with extra line width for bold, easier to see controls

+ Name created controls or just use a suffix.

+ Change control colors at shape level so children don't inherit drawing overrides.

+ Replace multiple control shapes with either one or an equal amount of replacement shapes.

+ Mirror control shapes from either side of a rig.

Installation

# Copy "bs_controls.py" and "bs_controlsUI.py" into your Maya scripts directory.

# Add a shelf button with the following python code:

import bs_controlsUI

reload(bs_controlsUI)

bsCon = bs_controlsUI.BSControlsUI()

bsCon.bsControlsUI()
