BasePivot

BasePivot

I find this one of the most useful scripts for Maya and use it most in the HotBox. Even though it’s ancient, I thought it was worth a mention.

Basically in a nutshell this script moves your object’s pivot point to the base of the bounding box. The kicker here is that it can be executed simultaneously across multiple objects at once.

If you use this script and Maya’s Bonus Tools (or Level Tools or whatever Autodesk calls it now),  it makes snapping hundreds of objects to the ground mesh a breeze.

Hi Simha, not sure if I’ve ever heard of that one? Was it in LayoutTools?

Will keep an eye open for it though, sounds useful.
