The Graphical User Interfaces

We have developed the graphical user interfaces in PyQt so you must have relevant version of PyQt installed for the version of Autodesk Maya you are using. You can easily customize the GUI by adding your own widgets available in PyQt.

Each individual GUI element can be torn off by using custom right click context menu on the buttons at the top of the window.

Asset

Asset GUI allows you to create sAsset node. In geometry section of the tool you can change display type of the geometries in the scene. This tool can be used when you do not want animator to select geometries in their animation work.

Chain Blend

Chain blend GUI allows you to create sChainBlend node and its feature rich sections allows you to customize the chain blend rig the way you want.

FK Stretch

FK Stretch GUI allows you to create FK stretch rig. There different type of stretch rig is available, “stretch”, “translate”, “scale” respectively. You can define name of the custom attributes for the control.

Foot

You can create reverse foot rig by using the Foot GUI. A sFoot node will be created for the rig. This node offers many cool features including custom roll setup.

IK Stretch

IK Stretch GUI allows you to create IK stretch rig. There different type of stretch rig is available, “stretch”, “translate”, “scale” respectively.

Layer

You can create asset based layers by using the Layer GUI. It creates sLayer node and contains connections for selected transforms. Animators will not be bothered by too many layers in display layer editor in Autodesk Maya.

Line

sLine node has been provided for custom OpenGL line drawing and you can create the node by using the Line GUI.

Locator

sLocator node is a feature rich custom locator that we provide. You can create it by using the Locator GUI.

Show Hide Control

You can use sShowHideControl node to show or hide chain controls based on the blend state of the rig. The Show Hide Control GUI allows you to create the node.

Space Switch

sSpaceSwitch node can be created via the Space Switch GUI. This node allows you to create rigs widely knows as space switching.

Spline Stretch

The Spline Stretch GUI allows you to create sSplineStretch node. This node allows you to create stretchy spine for your characters.

Squash Stretch

The Squash Stretch GUI allows you to create sSquashStretch node which you can get real squash and stretch effect with.

Tension

sTension node (deformer) can be created via the Tension GUI. This node allows you to measure the stress on the mesh so you can use the output for further deformations.

Wrap

The Wrap GUI allows you to create sWrap node. sWrap is a point to point based deformer and can deform geometries even if the vertex orders are different on driver and driven geometries.

Outliner

Outliner GUI is an additional GUI for Storm V3. You can find and navigate nodes that come with Storm V3 by using the Outliner GUI.
