[Distribution] Useful Free Maya Plugins for Animators

Hello guys, I decided to start a thread with useful free plugins for Maya. Let me know in the comments if I should add anything else to the list.

Unfortunately, this forum seems to have a body size limit and I had to remove the preview images. 

 

Name and Description

Url

aweControlPicker
aweControlPicker is a GUI Picker tool for Autodesk Maya that enables animators to define a bunch of buttons to select specific objects (e.g. controls) in their scene, hence the name (awe) Control Picker. It works much like character selection GUIs you've most likely used before, except it's designed to be as minimalistic as possible, can be edited on the fly, works with any rig and provides ease of access to maximize the speed of your workflow.

AnimSchool Picker 

AnimSchool Picker is tightly integrated into Maya and Softimage, highlighting when you make a selection in Maya, as well as picking from the buttons. Users can zoom and pan using standard Maya/Softimage navigation hotkeys.

Authoring a picker is very easy. Make single or multiple object buttons--even vertices. Make script/command buttons. Move buttons or groups of buttons with the control key. Nudge buttons precisely with the arrow keys. Arrange and distribute buttons horizontally or vertically. Reuse pickers in an instant by switching it to another character's namespace. AnimSchool Picker automatically changes all buttons and scripts to update to the new character.
