Started working on this tool after putting it on hold in June. Basically this tool is what it says, a toolkit which helps you make good animations.
Currently it can generate tag_camera animation based on the weapon movement in current playback range. And it also can remove all tag_camera animations.

MEGA

mega.co.nz

Google Drive

drive.google.com

End result of an automatic camera anim generation

How to install:
1) go to Documents/maya/*maya version*/scripts/
2) Copy the python script here
3) open usersetup.mel
4) add this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

python("import RayToolkit");

5) there should a menu appear when you launch maya

6) Done!
When a new update is released, it will notify you of the update! Next version will have an autoupdater.
Feel free to post your suggestions on how I should expand it

I just tried using this the first time, because it looks pretty handy. However when i click any of the options that have appeared in maya i get this error:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

# Error: NameError: name 'RayToolkit' is not defined #

This is how my usersetup.mel looks:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

python("import RayToolkit");

python("import CoDExportTools");

source Tom_Tools;
TomStart;
CreateMenu;
source Tom_Import_xAnimOptions;

And the .py is in the same folder as the usersetup.mel ( documents\maya\2012-x64\scripts\ ).
Did i miss something here?

Ah so I'm not the only one with that issue, I gave up and animated the camera myself.

this just makes the shakes when you use certain weapon or reload easier to do right? (Ex. The knife shaking your screen slightly, obtaining perks in exo zomvies)

This is my usersetup.mel, just in case:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

python("import CoDMayaTools");
python("import RayToolkit");
source Tom_Tools;
TomStart;
CreateMenu;
source Tom_Import_xAnimOptions;

Everything seems fine to me, are you sure you are using Maya 2012 or later?
And thanks!

lol, well the folder is named \maya\2012-x64\scripts\ so that should be 2012 i guess

I'll try a few things and if i get it working somehow i'll post back here, otherwise

it looked like a timesaver

It is.
Also, if you get it working, don't do it on angled weapons (with rotation different than 0,0,0). I'll add support for that in an incoming update and now I have a reason to do it now (AW MDL, kek).

Fixed the bug which prevented the plugin from loading.
Gotta double-check my shit next time

Error: TypeError: file C:/Users/cj/Documents/maya/2017/scripts\RayToolkit.py line 66: range() integer end argument expected, got float. #
