ContainerManager

Simple Maya Container Manager

Uses only Maya's OM2 Python API

---

As the maya container UI, is extremly frustrating, I wrote a simple and intuative UI for container interaction, and easy to use wrapper module for containers.

---

The container module can also be used to easily modify containers

• Add / Remove Container
• Add / Remove Objects in a container
• Expose / Hide Objects in a container
• Select the container that a selected asset is contained to

---

Setup

Copy the root of this repo ContainerManager into your system PYTHONPATH environemnt variables

In the script editor run the following

fromContainerManagerimportuiascmcm.CreateContainerManager()

Please feel free to comment, report bugs, add to the repo and suggest modifications and additions. The more the merrier

TODO

• Expose / Hide parameters from the container.
• List UI to view assets in the container.
• UI Icons, for simpler user interaction.
