FD Toon Tool v.2 - Penetration check Python Maya script
FD_Toon_Tool v.2
**** New feature:
- New 'Intersections' and 'Self Intersection' buttons to click-and-check if the geometry overlaps to itself. This is an important step in the final sanity-check of our shot.
FD_Toon_Tool is a Python script for Maya that provides a convenient tool for checking penetrations and ensuring scene integrity. Addressing penetrations is also crucial to avoid potential issues with muscle simulations, as they can be particularly sensitive to heavy penetration.
By utilizing FD_Toon_Tool, you can easily identify and resolve self-penetrations or penetrations between two or more elements in your Autodesk Maya scene. This is especially useful for scenarios like a creature walking on the ground or fighting, where precise control over penetrations is essential to prevent errors when sending your animation to the next department such as CRDEV, where penetration could lead to failures in muscle simulations.
The tool helps maintain the overall quality of your animations.
