Scene Builder Plus - Maya Python Tool

Hello Maya users!

You open Maya and always presented with the new blank scene. It's repetitive, you see it a lot.

Next... You’re working on a new scene or shot, and all you want is a simple background, maybe a couple of lights and definitely a camera. But you have to create and set them up from scratch every time, again and again and again!

That’s how I felt… So I created a new tool to make things quicker:  Scene Builder

A go-to tool for fast scene and shot setup. Choose from six customisable backdrops or use an image plane. Drop in a three-point lighting rig or a flexible camera rig—everything you need to get started, fast. I made Scene Builder to remove my frustrations, speed up scene/shot creation and get to work quicker.

I hope you find it as useful as I do.

Cheers
James
