Shape Replacer

MEL script for Maya. Shape Replacer allows you to copy and replace shape nodes across many rig controls, objects, groups, etc.

You can watch a full overview of the Pro version of the script here: Youtube [ !Enable ENG Subs!]

Pro version Features:

• The tool works in two modes for copying the shape nodes from the source object:
  - replacing object shapes when the shape is taken from the one source object
  - replacing object shapes when there are several sources, ideal for mirroring control shapes to the other side
• In addition to copying the shape, you can also instance the shape of the source to other objects
• You can keep the color of the target object by replacing only target shape or use the color of the source shape. The script works with Index colors and RGB colors.
• It is possible to keep the shape of the target object, i.e. instead of replacing, the shape is copied from the source.
• Mirror shapes along world and local axes with a choice of each axis you need.
• Works with multiple shapes of source andtarget objects
• Works with transform nodes without shapes. (for example, empty groups or joints)
• In addition to nurbs and geometric objects, script can work:
  - with clusters
  - with objects with freezed Transformations
  - with locked objects
  - with objects with non-unique names

The script is tested and works with Maya 2018-2023
