I created a Maya tool to load orthographic reference images to a new layer on each axis to streamline the 3D modeling workflow.
Using PyQT, I created a custom window that makes importing and managing the reference images easier. The UI supports file uploading, cropping and visibility adjustments.
This project was very rewarding as it not only allowed me to practice writing Python tools for Maya, but also allowed me to think about how to create tools that support artists. It made my own 3D modeling workflow easier and inspired me to model even more in my free time.
