Python framework for intuitive animation scripting in Maya.
Keychain is a wrapper around Maya's Python API that aims to simplify the learning curve for artists who wish to get into scripting, as well to provide them with the type of utility methods commonly present in animation/VFX studios.
This is why keychain's is built to be: Modular, fast and readable.
It also comes with a set of tools that will hopefully not only speed up your workflow, provide some examples of how to use the API.
