Maya Face Rig UI | Control Panel Creator

ZF - CONTROL PANEL

A compact and handy Maya rigging tool designed to create clean, flexible, animator-friendly Control Panels and Curve-based Text Labels — perfect for setting up facial rig and blendshape controls.

FEATURES:

🟥CURVE TEXT CREATOR:

• Easily create text curves using the name input.
• Combined Text: All letter curve shapes are merged under a single transform to keep the Outliner clean. ( no more one-group-per-letter mess! )
  

🟥CONTROL PANEL CREATOR:

• Border + Control Shapes: box - rectangle - line - circle - diamond.
• Control Aligment: center - top - bottom - left - right.
• Max Range: this defines min-max values and the border size to increase the movement range inside.
• Input a name once: the tool automatically generates clean, consistent hierarchy and naming for all elements.
• Customizable Name Conventions: edit the default name settings.
  

🟥MIRROR & EXTRA OPTIONS:

• Mirror: Instantly creates a twin panel with mirrored naming and synced position.
• Behaviour: Flips the twin control's movement to mirror the original control.
• Bounded: Limits the control by its shape, keeping it fully inside the border. If off, the limit is based on the control's pivot.
• Text: Adds a curve text label under the border using the name input.

For installation and customization, follow the instructions in the "readme" file.

Compatibility: Autodesk Maya 2022 and newer versions.
