• When importing unloaded references it crashes in the middle of the process.

• Installer should check if errors were raised before giving "Done" message. (ROBOCOPY)

• Script to quickly set the outliner color or viewport color of many objects at the same time.
• Option to auto color based on naming.
• Option to color transform vs shape node.
• Option to color based on type.
• A few preset colors.
• In view feedback of how many objects were colored.

Add a check to see if attribute is locked before changing it.
Give user a warning or ignore it when this is the case.
Image below shows that the script stops execution when attribute is locked (forcing the user to uncheck locked channels, which is not ideal)

• The color applied to the outliner is darker, it probably needs to be converted back to RGB (Display Space) before applying.

Bifrost no longer creates a bif type object when outputting mesh. So look for new outputs in the node instead.

• Create a facial auto rigger.
• Generate sticky lips using curves and ribbons
• Add button to auto attach to "gt_auto_biped_rigger"
• Use loader buttons to load facial edge flow
• Use loaded edge to extract vertices and create all necessary controls and joints

• Similar to the selection manager; Option to create a set or extract a text version of the list of joints
• Option to transfer from source to target (bind to same joints. Auto select joints and open binding options)
• Option to auto project skin weights

• Color Manager should reset the overrides for the shape node when resetting it.

Make sure lookdevKit plugin is loaded. I was getting errors when building.

Warning: Unrecognized node type 'floatConstant'; preserving node information during this session.

Warning: The source attribute 'left_leg_strechyInactive_value.outFloat' cannot be found.

I just added this to the gt_auto_biped_rigger.py:

# Main Dialog ============================================================================
def build_gui_auto_biped_rig():
    '''  Creates the main GUI for GT Auto Biped Rigger '''

    if not cmds.pluginInfo("lookdevKit", query=True, loaded=True):
        cmds.loadPlugin("lookdevKit", quiet=True)

Thanks. Keep it up!

"gt_create_ctrl_simple_IK_leg.py" desperately needs an update. It's currently unintuitive and easily failing.

• It should create the entire rig for a biped leg (do not assume FK exists, but check for it)
• Add controls for heel, toe and ball roll.
• Auto determine the direction of the polar vector.
• Update "gt_make_stretchy_leg.py" to generate all measure nodes already connected with the rest of the rig (or with annotations about what to do)

• Add support for bezier curves

Error message: Error connecting to webhook.

Tried different settings and servers, tried discord.com and discordapp.com, neither are working.

Script would work exactly like the "Add attribute" function, but it would retain the parameters and allow for multiple variables (separated by commas)

• It should compare current version with latest github release and offer to update/download newest version if the online one is higher.

• Add option to move it in world space
• Add option to include a "pause" between keyed frames

• Take screenshots of a selected viewport (give an option to tear off a new viewport to have an specific camera for the time-lapse)
• Use threading to count down, then save an image after the countdown is done. Repeat till the user stops it or an error occurs.
• Give option to select where the output (screenshots) should be stored.
• Manage the screenshots so they don't overwrite one another.

• Create a folder with a "README.md" explaining how to use every script.
• Include an alternative way to open it (HTML?) so the user can view it after downloading the script package.
• Include small gifs showing every script GUI.

• Change it so curves stay in place but get separated (Maybe freeze or copy transforms)

• Add proxy creation and auto rigging buttons to biped rigger GUI
• Add validation to create facial/correct proxy and controls
• Add validation to merge functions (facial/correct -> biped/base)
• Update documentation to include all new changes
• Add shortcut to biped rigger interface to GT Tools drop-down menu

Current necessary updates:

• New functions and controls for "gt_auto_biped_rigger"
• New add sine attributes script

"gt_auto_biped_rigger" is raising an error when importing different scales. This is happening because the main control has sX and sZ receiving their scale from sY.

• Calculate render time based on average render time vs number of machines vs number of frames.
• Output Hours, Minutes, Weeks.
• Option to import current render settings.
• Option to use multiple render times to calculate average (for when using many machines).
• Buttons to start batch render, cancel render and attempt to open output folder.

• A script that parses the JSON file created through fSpy and creates a camera inside Maya
• Compute the focal length for the camera (default Maya 35mm)
• Add options to auto convert +Z to +Y and camera rig.

• GUI to load blend shape node from selected geo (cycle through found blend shape nodes)
• GUI to load target control (usually a curve)
• Text field to filter undesired strings
• Option to ignore blend shapes with connections

About "gt_replace_reference_paths.py"

-It takes too long to import "pymel" as it reloads plugins. Find another solution that doesn't require "pymel"

• A script that automatically unchecks the autoload for a few heavy plugins. (Making Maya start faster)
• It should also have an option to auto create a shelf button to load missing plugins. (A button per plugin)

• Create auto breathing system
• Create auto blinking attributes (so the user can plug it to blend shape targets)

• Create a function to auto check for updates every X amount of days. Use "optionVars" to store date.
• Give the user the option to deactivate auto updates.

Create auto installer for other platforms so people won't have issues when installing the script package.
Create documentation for the new installers.

• Text is green even when there is an error.
• Link should show only latest release.
• The "Update" should be disabled after refreshing with an updated version.

Create script to add custom attributes to selected objects without using expressions.

• Simple functions to quickly combine/separate selected curves. (Much like the combine/separate geo functions, but for curves)
• Check if only curves were selected, then move all their shapes to a single transform.
• If multiple shapes found, separate curves into new transforms.

• Script containing a library of curves
• Search bar
• Thumbnails

• Auto create character definition for HumanIK and definition
• Toggle the visibility of all joint labels
• Add a button to create a seamless FK/IK switch shelf button.

-"gt_render_checklist" doesn't select non-unique geometry when checking for non-manifold or ngons.

• Update the functions to have two lists. One with the full path and another with the short path to the objects.

• Textfield with list of affected attributes.
• Hide/unhide attributes for selected elements.
• Lock/unlock attributes for selected elements.
• Auto create a list of attributes for selected elements.
• Auto delete a list of attributes for selected elements.
• Maybe attempt to change the order of the attributes.

• Script for creating a voxelized version out of a model.
• Option to extract color out of textures.
• Resolution to determine how many voxels to generate.

I noticed that I'm often going through the Maya menu to select hierarchy before using the selection manager.
A shortcut button integrated in its UI would be convenient.

Discussed in #57

(Original issue had a different title, but that wasn't necessarily the problem)
Currently, the auto-installation script will overwrite userSetup.mel located in C:/Users/%username%/maya/20xx/scripts . Because of this, anything that was added within that file isn't registered any more in maya -- a bit of an inconvenience.

Maybe it would be more feasible if the script were to just append source "gt_tools_menu.mel"; to a new line if the file already exists?

• Setup should delete "userSetup.mel" during uninstallation in case it's empty (no text or only spaces)

• Add a few preset curves in the custom curve for the Auto FK script:
  • Cube
  • Pin
  • Joint shape

• Much like the "gtu_import_references" it goes through all references, but instead of importing, it removes them.

• Quickly create all the nodes and connections to convert a bif (bifrost) geometry into maya mesh.
