Hi Folks,

I'm in the process of learning Maya. I've been a max user for some time. But I'd like to know if there is a plugin/script for Maya that's like the Meshtools (http://www.s21net.com/meshtools/) script for max (follow the link if you want to see what it does). If you don't know what Meshtools is, it's provides max with Mirai/Nendo like polygon modeling features. Anyone know of such a plugin/script and where can I get it?

Thanks in advance.

go to Alias wavefront Maya Community www.aliaswavefront.com and download the Bonus Games and the other Poly Tools.
And then go to Highend3d.com and search for the Xumi Script.

When you got the scripts and learn how to use them effectivly then you'll have the best poly packed in the world imo.

I've been looking all over highend3d without finding this Xumi Script. Where can I find it?

Does anybody know of some re-interp f-curve tool for maya?

http://xtools.xteo.com/

It got Edge Loop Split, BevelVertex and Extrude Along Curve.
The Great about its Loop Split is that you able to allways modify where the loop split should be placed on the edges. And the same goes for Bevel Vertex. And Extrude along curve is just an funny unik feature were you can extrude an face and use a CV Curve to change its direction.

...and it was also able to restore my Maya interface to orginal, and make the hotkey for arrow tool (Q) to dissapair.
It also added some ugly chunky menues (I want to keep my interface totaly clean)
It would be nice if those tools could apear in the Edit polygon menu thou.

The Xumi interface is alot faster to use when you learn it.
If you anyway only wants the poly tools find out what the MEL codes are for the different poly commands. All the poly commands are placed in the ICMCore.mel file.

Not really sure what all the functions of meshtools are but a plugin i use is Connect Poly Shape. Its avaliable at highend cg This link should get you there:

If not, go to the maya plugins section and do a search for "connect" There is also clay_connect_edges.mel which can connnect edges into loops.
