Mass Instancer is a production quality plugin built for creating complex geometry instancing effects using Maya and Mental Ray. By combining numerous customization parameters and particle-driven instance placement, effects such as large crowds, cityscapes, forests and explosion debris can be set up with ease.
A full featured open source plugin, MEL script, and C++ utility library for skinning or smoothing meshes and many conversion and computational geometry functions
This is simple asphalt material for mentalray. I used "Sky and Sun" lightning system with FG. If you want to use other type of light it's a good idea to play with "Weight" value. I hope it helps :)
Three types of character primitives: child/cartoon, realistic man, and monster proportioned character models. This plug-in is to make it easier for character modelers to get started. The models have the correct proportions and extra geometry in useful places around the face and joints.
Motion Track is MEL script based automated Motion Track creation script with lots of additional functionality which is not available with Maya default path animation. It provides more efficient and controllable options to control path animation.
This tool allow you to easily rig a machanical spider leg with both Ik and Fk systems; The rotations of joints in the leg appens so they can only rotate on their bending axis leaving the twisting and side2side rotation to the upper joint of the hierarchy. In this way the parented geometry will not break during the leg movements.
