Work Plane for Maya?

beefaroni

Hi all. I will be switching back to Maya soon, and I want to know if there is a workplane script that I could download or buy. Something similar to Miauu's workplane would be ideal. I know in the meantime I can do pivot to edge but a workplane would be preferable.

Before everyone jumps on the Modo train. I wish I could, but I can't.

Hello, BEEFARONI
At least you can use Maya's tool: View -> Align Camera to Polygon

goto Create> Construction Plane> make the construction Plane Live

I'm confused about what this is used for. Does anyone have a concrete example?

If you are still confused about what the workplane is used for take a look at this video made by Warren Marshall: https://youtu.be/c-OYY6Pk0NI?t=2m4s
Warren explains how the workplane in Modo works: this should clarify your doubts.

Oh and btw, for those still interested in the Workplane plugin for Maya, take a look here: http://polycount.com/discussion/171874/maxivzs-workplane-for-maya

Maya has a "construction plane" which looks like the same thing 

Create > construction plane. 

Once you make it "live" then it looks pretty similar to that video.
