Mouth Shader - Maya Python Tool

Hello animators!

Do you want a simple way to add depth to your character's mouth in the polish phase of your shot? Do you always want to darken the inside of the mouth so the teeth and tongue stand out? - Maybe this will help?? - Mouth Shader Tool

This tool creates a simple gradient shader material and assigns it to a plane. The plane can then be placed at the back of a character's mouth (behind the tongue), to help create depth when the mouth is open.

Original idea inspired by Charles Icay (@IkHandle).

I hope you find it useful!
