Bridge (Toolbar)

[ FRAMEWORK ]

A dockable Maya toolbar that puts FabricatorStudio's scene, build, rigging, skinning, and export tools two clicks away.

Bridge (Toolbar)

What it does

Bridge is FabricatorStudio’s framework toolbar: a single strip that docks to Maya’s viewport and puts the everyday tools within two clicks, with bigger tools opening as popover panels. It covers scene I/O, object creation, constraints, selection, mirroring, skeleton and skin I/O, the renamer, Fabricator, Curve-O-Matic, exporters, and pose/animation libraries. A Connect AI panel gives an AI client read-only scene access.

Quick start

  1. Show the toolbar from Maya’s FabricatorStudio menu; it docks along the bottom by default.
  2. Set your active project with the PRJ chooser at the left edge.
  3. Hover a button like CR (Create) for a quick action, or click a bigger tool for its full panel.
  4. Use the SET (gear) popover to change dock placement, reorder tools, or hide ones you don’t use.

Good to know

  • Quick panels open on hover; full tools (Renamer, Export, Curve-O-Matic, Pose/Anim Studios, Fabricator) open on click only, so they never pop up uninvited.
  • A hover-opened panel closes if you click away; interact with it to keep it open.
  • Hiding the toolbar turns off its scene-change listeners, so anything tracking live scene state only resyncs once shown again.
