Re: Customisations to maya...what do you use?
I just use a shelf set up with my buttons all on it, a reload textures script, a PSD path exporter script, a bone counter script and thats it.

Re: Customisations to maya...what do you use?
"people write too many scripts for Maya". Well, for high res modeling for example, you absolutely *have to*. The functionality just doesn't cut it otherwise.
