Production tools & custom panels for Maya
Pro Tools
Your Maya tools. One key away.
Pro Tools combines modeling, rigging, animation and cleanup tools in a panel you can show or hide as you work. Start with the included workspaces, add your own Python or MEL tools and arrange the panel around the task.
Install through AO.Hub with a verified account.
Keep the tools for each task together.
Your own scripts
Add Python and MEL tools to your panels. Keep personal scripts and studio utilities alongside the included tools.
Shared studio setups
Export panel layouts for other artists or workstations. Install Studio Packages to add a shared collection of tools.
Build a panel around the way you work.
Choose the tools, arrange their order and decide how much information each card shows.
Show it when you need it
With the N hotkey installed, press N to show or hide the panel. Open your tools for an action, then hide the panel to give the viewport more space.
Arrange your tools
Add tools to a panel, move frequently used actions to the top and remove entries you no longer need. Create separate panels for different tasks.
Add Python and MEL tools
Register your scripts through Add Python Tool or Add MEL Tool, then place them in your panels. Launch them from the same interface as the included tools.
Keep the panel readable
Show descriptions and help while learning a tool, or hide them for a more compact layout. Collapse groups you’re not using.
