RbRoll is a Maya Deformer plugin that enables a rolling movement for Maya objects. It was used in the VES Award winning production Rugbybugs to let the chrystal, carried by the animals, roll without tedious keyframe animation.
The content of the repository consists of:
- The deformer source code as a Python plugin blockout version
- The C++ API version
- An experimental CUDA parallelized version (Experimental)
Python setup code is within a file called test_fixture.py in the temp folder. You can paste its content into the script editor and it should set up the basic connections, in case the rbRoll plugin is correctly loaded. An additional example rig can be found in the temp folder
