I've been actively coding again, writing tools for my students and fellow professionals and have several new FREE scripts for Maya that I think people will find useful, if not fun. I will post separately for each script, apologies in advance if this looks like spam, it's not. Tools aren't any good if they aren't being used…
Yes, I think it could, thanks! Also mesh/material ID's in a Substance workflow. One of the reasons I made it user-palette based is a team could use the same JSON file and color code sub-parts.
It's not just visually pleasing, I think this could make keeping track of subparts of a complicated whole much faster and probably help the beginner make sense of commands like combine and separate more intuitively. THanks for sharing, I can't wait to check it out.
