Here in this topic I'm going to post my little scripts and assistance tools for Maya and ZBrush! You may get them in the store on ArtStation or Gumroad. I use PyMel and Maya Python API for writing scripts.
I'd like to represent you the tool for creating curves from tubes for Maya.
Its main advantage is easiness of using. You may just select the
geometry and the script will analise selection and create curves where
it's possible. You may even select a group or tubes merged together.
This script creates geometry morph in the form of UV. Just select geometry or a group with different meshes and run the script. It's necessary that geometry is cut along UV seams.
This tool may be used for detalization of clothes, creating chainmail,
etc. Rhombuses of the shirt from preview were made by this way.
Just fyi, the link to the UV morph artstation page is broken in the above post.
Also, I like the idea of coding sketchbook threads here, where people interested in scripts can actually find it. (wanted the say that just in case any mods consider moving this to the regular sketchbook section.)

I considered this format handy enough. Hope, it won't be moved
This is the script for Maya that makes it easier to
select edges for sewing shells in the UV Editor. Just select one edge
and run the script. The algorithm will find and select the edges
required to sew the shell regarding to this edge. Also there is the
second mode that at once sews shells together. To make it more
comfortable I'd recommend to apply the hotkey to the script.
