Simon Coombs Plugins

LConfig allows standardised studio config files to be personalised.

Project Tools are designed to create, backup and restore the folder structures for each project. Note that they are designed to be used with my preferred Content Directory structure as described in the Setup section.

Project-New creates folders for a new project.

Project-Backup creates a backup of a new project.

Project-Restore restores folders from a backup.

Scene-Parent was designed to produce master scenes intended to be used with LightWave's "load from scene" function. It parents all objects, lights and/or cameras in the current scene to a null and saves a copy of the scene.

Send-To-BNR is a simple, no-frills plugin that submits the current scene to Butterfly Net Render.

Smart-Save saves objects and scenes and creates automatic backups.

Zip-It is a plugin to export the files you'll need to take a scene home.

Some plugin links

The top of the page is a LW9 wish-list, but scroll down the page to the list of plugin links.

I love plugins.

Remember the day "show weights" was released, the early free version? I had been fiddling about weight mapping a face for a "backyard" mocap system for a client, using every weight map mixing/mirroring/blurring plug I could find. But the one thing I really needed was "show weights" - I couldn't get over how hard it was to get an exact value of a point's weight.
