Maya Shelf Script - interactiveProjCurvesOnMesh
A Python script for Maya to project multiple curves on mesh using the selected face normal as projection vector.
Select the curves and the mesh you want to use for the projection and run the script.
You'll be asked to select a face, whose normal will be used as projection vector.
Much faster to use than the normal way of having to setup a camera to use as projection vector.
Also includes scripts to use the standard x/y/z directions as projection vector,
(and one more to use a selected curve as projection vector ;).
HOW TO INSTALL
1 - Download archive file from https://azrafe7.gumroad.com/l/interactiveProjCurvesOnMesh (location of download does not matter)
2 - Extract the files
3 - Drag and drop the "install.mel" file into Maya
4 - Done! The script should be on your current shelf
You can now delete all files. All needed files have been copied to your maya preferences :)
