Very useful for modelling. Guaranteed to speed up your workflow.

Release Notes:

Follow the installation instruction to update - Replace the .py file in your scripts directory with the new version. 
Replace the old folder with the new one in your icons location in the prefs folder (this is so you can get the latest updated documetation).

Version 2.01

• Changed the Mash Offset button to Mash Nodes. 
• Now that button is dedicated to adding Mash nodes. Ctrl Click to add an Offset node, Shift Click to add a Random node and Alt Click to add an ID node. 
• The tool also will give you in view messages to notify you of what is happening in the scene.  

Update Version 2.0

• Tools now works with MASH (uses MASH api to make certain workflows a lot faster)
• Added custom distribution tool in addition to MASH  (in case MASH is not fulfilling the users needs)

Update version 1.06
-Tool tested and works in Maya 2019 - 2023
Fixed a bug where the pivot point was not set automatically to Object mode the moment you created a Primitive (previously it would work if you were already in object mode). .
Ctrl + Click on a Primitive icon will replace a selected object and orient itself the the selected object  (if selected object has been rotated and has frozen transforms use the Bake Pivot button).
