3D Asset Manager - Personal Project

Build a Maya asset manager in Python

---

DESCRIPTION

This project was completed as part of my personal Python project in order to improve my skills.

The goal was to develop an application for Maya software capable of:

• Managing 3D assets from a Maya project
• Analyzing, renaming, optimizing exporting assets in a Maya scene

---

INFORMATION

• The app works in Maya software only. There is not any standalone version.

EXPLANATIONS OF WHAT THE APP DOES

Analyzing

• Analyzing 3D assets in a Maya scene

Renaming

• Adding prefix/suffix to assets
• Replacing a selection in assets names
• Auto-numbering assets
