Megascans General Improvements - Maya Script

CORE FEATURES

• More realistic shader wind in Unreal Engine
• Easy to apply growth of moss or dirt against objects

DESCRIPTION

This Maya script was written using Python 3.7 and works with Maya 2022 and 2023. The script asks the user to pick the path to their local Megascans library where it will process all of the assets in order to adjust the vertex colors as well as some other optional attributes. This allows for numerous improvements such as more realistic shader wind inside of Unreal Engine, easy moss growth against objects and better pivot placement.

The script works quite performant so processing an entire Megascans library shouldn't take long. To get an idea, processing a rock consisting of 30K triangles with all available settings enabled takes less than two seconds.
