What is X-Tools?

X-Tools is a toolbox script that offer fast access to the most power Maya tools while adding a few features of its own. The real power of X-Tools comes from the buttons which are context sensitive, meaning they do different, (but related) functions in different selection modes. X-Tools 3.9, features a one window interface and buttons that remember the last selected option.

New Features include:

• User Shelf now has two tabs
• TD Shelf added with a focus on Dynamics and rigging - will be expanded in 3.9.5
• improved Align to Selection button (2008 or higher)
  
• One Window Interface
• Tool Buttons that remember last selected option
• Improved Sculpt Tool Box
• Improved Loop Spacing Options
• New Shape Primitive Button
• Context Sensitive Combine/Mirror Button
• Special Component location tools grouped in one area

Installation:

Installing X-Tools is simple. X-Tools comes with own Installation file. Just unpack the download to the desktop, start Maya, then open the filed called xtools_installer.ma that's inside the X-Tools install folder. It will do all the necessary installation and ask you to restart Maya at the end.

Bugs:

X-Tools has also gone through some extensive bug testing. This version was tested on all 3 platforms and versions 7.0 to 2009.  To get this out there has been a small amount of testing.  It works but the startup window is not quite right on Mac or Linux.

Future:
This version is really an early of 3.9.5 which will have a more complete version on the TD shelf and more tools on the X+ Menu.  There might be a 3.9.8 version if anything needs to be fixed.

The focus 4.0 will be the conversion to Python.

Enjoy and Thanks
