Hey Maya users!

I'm a 3D character animator with 12+ years of experience, and for the past 6 months I've been working on a few Maya tools in my spare time.

I originally started building them to make some of my daily animation tasks easier, and somehow ended up with four different tools :)

Here's what I've been working on:

Advanced Bézier Arc Editor – Edit and reshape motion arcs directly in the Maya viewport using interactive Bézier handles.

HandForge – A library of 48 hand poses that can be reused across different compatible character rigs.

BreathForge – Generate procedural breathing animation with customizable presets, speed, and intensity on a separate Animation Layer.

FrameFlow – Import video references directly into Maya, sync them with the timeline, and retime them using Reference Time Warp.

I've been using these tools in my own animation work, but I'd really love to hear what other Maya users think.

Are there any features you'd find useful, or things you'd approach differently?

I've attached some screenshots of the tools. You can also watch the actual Maya demos on my YouTube channel:

Thanks for checking them out!

i know maya has one built-in but i used it in the past and when it was time to animate it kinda blew up in my face. i probably just suck at it but if anyone has any tips or auto-riggers to help me out that would be greatly appreciated!

So working on a school project for my rigging class in Maya, having issues with what seems to be verts pulling everywhere, I have tried Component editor and it doesn't seem to work when I value it to 1 or 0. Please be patient with me, Maya rigging is hard for me. Any help would be appreciated
