Animation Retargeting Tool for Maya

A tool for transferring animation data and mocap from a skeleton to a custom rig in Autodesk Maya.

Installation:

  1. Add animation_retargeting_tool.py to your Maya scripts folder (Username\Documents\maya\scripts).
  2. To start the tool within Maya, run these these lines of code from the Maya script editor or add them to a shelf button:

import animation_retargeting_tool
animation_retargeting_tool.start()

Known bugs:

  • The bake animation is a tad bit slow. Might have to replace the BakeResults command with something more robust.
  • The script is not compatible with Maya 2022 at the moment. I just need to add a check which Python version the Maya instance is running.
