Tuber
ADDED a first port to python 3. the main function of making tubes from selected edges or curves is functional now in maya 2022 and 2023.
the new file to run is tuber_1py3
new command is:
import tuber_1py3
import importlib
importlib.reload(tuber_1py3)
Python script for up to Maya 2021 that automates extrusions along multiple curves over multiple objects. You can re-use existing curves as well as generate them from edges. If faces are selected the script will perform an operation similar to extrusion with a curve, when the curve is perpendicular to the surface of the geo from which it's being extruded.
To run the script place it in the documents\maya\mayaVer\scripts folder and the png in the documents\maya\mayaVer\prefs\icons folder. to load it use this code in the maya python tab:
import tuber_1
reload(tuber_1)
tuber_1.tuberGUI()
