May9 Pro is an alternative user experience for Autodesk Maya, is designed to improve the daily workflow and minimize the needed to learn the native position of commands.
The main concept of May9 Pro is streamline useful commands into a single keyboard button (Z), by predicting them from the context.
May9 Pro is targeted to anyone, from beginner to expert, from schools to studios and can be installed as standalone or over existing configuration.

    Hi Indrema,
    I tried may9 on maya 2017. There are many good ideas and good little scripts and I like the idea of having a version of maya with all important options correctly setup.
    Nevertheless, I had problems with some scripts like "to loops to curves" and "cut by plane". Sometimes, after using those tools I cannot use my move manipulator anymore and sometimes it crashed. If your interested, I will send you more details later after more testing.

    May9 and MMtoKey is a huge speed boost. Last year I used it as a starting point for customizing my 2016 configuration. Nearly all of the day-to-day scripts and functions I use for modeling are easy to reach in a single motion now.

    I highly suggest trying it out to see what a good mmtokey layout can do for you.

    With loop to curves, it just breaks my manipulators. When I try to drag the move manipulator for exemple, a marking menu appears instead.
    I had some crashes with the cut by plane.

    The manipulators problems are related to a Marking Menu bug, sometime Maya do not close it correctly. For fix just press and release Z button.
    About cut by plane is strange, I'm using only native Maya command. Can you give me more detail? TNX!
