QuickPillar 1.0.0 for Maya (maya plugin)

Create the pillar you want in no time.
All you have to know are the dimensions of the pillar you want to create, type in those numbers and press a button.  You can choose between 3 types of pillars with 3 levels of detail. A modern type pillar with a cylindrical shape, a modern type pillar with a rectangular or square shape and a pillar of the classical Ionic order. The level of detail for each of the pillars can be chosen via a button press. You can choose between a low-, medium- and high-resolution.  
You get the pillar you want, without having to model yourself.  This Python plug-in is a big timesaver.
