Script: Edges 2 Curves Maya script


Simple script I made to help other.
It seems there is a problem in maya to convert selected edges to curves, when there is selected multiple objects, even combining them is not helping.

CreativeCrash download:

If there is some problems or suggestions, use creative crash(bugs, requests, reviews), just to make all that in one place.

Few useful maya scripts

Here are maya scripts that I found useful in my modeling workflow:

1. Inset tool
Does the same thing that 3ds max inset.


Download page HERE (just click on it).

2. Pipe generator
This one creates wires and pipes from curves.

Download page HERE.

3. Ali.mel
Another similar 3ds Max tool (align tool). This one allows to align different object's scale, position and rotation.


Download page HERE.

4. Duplicate along curve

This MEL script allows you to duplicate groups or objects along curve. It was originally developed to easily create rollecoaster/railroad tracks along any curve.


Download page HERE.

As you saw, all scripts are from creativecrash.com, dont be lazy and register to found more useful scripts ;)
