I really thought the ADN Plugin of the Month technology preview had run its course. I thought Wall Chamfer and Fillet for Revit would be our last one. I was pleasantly surprised when Senior Manager of DevTech Americas, Stephen Preston, shared a new plugin with me for posting to the Autodesk Labs site:
// Download RemovePrefix for Maya via Autodesk Labs
It is very common that people use prefix to avoid asset clashing in Maya. It is easy to add a prefix to names on items, however removing prefixes can be very painful as there is no functionality to easily remove them within Maya. A node hierarchy may contain hundreds of objects and a user would need to expand the hierarchy and rename each object one by one. What a pain!
The Plugin of the Month technology preview has brought you a new plugin for the past 34 months. You can find all past plugins on the catalog page. The plugins provide nuggets of functionality as supplied and also include the source code, so you too can consider developing your own plugins. It looks like the technology preview will continue with the emphasis being on design applications for the Media & Entertainment industry, e.g., 3ds Max, Maya. If you like this plugin or have suggestions to make it better, please contact us at [email protected].
Continuation is alive in the lab.
