Omtk is a lightweight suite of production tools for Maya. The goal of the project is to provide the most object-oriented, pythonic fondation for an automated rigging system. OMTK is highly dependent of libSerialization, a module that allow python objects to be embeded in a Maya scene via network nodes. OMTK also rely heavily on PyMel.

The following rules simplify the implementation of the system and must be respected for Omtk to work properly.

• All joints point toward the X axis, Y is their up axis. This mean the roll axis is always x and the primary axis is y.
• The character should look toward the positive Z axis.
• Feets orientation and straight, always.
• All python code should respect the PEP8 standards.
• All nodes and attributes created in a Maya scene are in camelCase for better integration in Maya.

A lightweight programming language that create maya utility nodes setup by parsing mathematical formulas.
