Autodesk Maya – rsObjectsInPath Tool

RigStudio

We are a group of riggers who are specialized in creating tools and rigs. RigStudio is the result of merging strengths of tree Character / Pileline TDs with long experience in the Computer Graphics field. We worked together at Bren Entertainment and in our professional career we have worked on various film and TV series projects.

This tool allows to duplicate objects and distribute them uniformly on a path.
With this tool, you can select 3 basic object types (Empty Group, Locator & Joint) or a scene object and the number of times they will be duplicated.
It has several options: to mantain position or orientantion constrain, keep the global orientation and hierarchy new objects.

This tool can also be used to modelling.
You can also duplicate a scene object in a path, specifying if you want to create a duplicate or an instance. When the scene object is a curve type it allows to create a loft (poligonal or nurbs) and if you are using an instance you can modify the original object to affect the instances.
