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

from ContainerManager import ui as cm

cm.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.
• Overall code tidy up and refactor.
• Pop-up small container name dialog
