Python Procedural Modeling Script

A fun script for procedural modeling in Maya

Project Breakdown

In an introductionary scripting class, one of my final assignments was to write a script that would procedurally model a train in Autodesk Maya. Coming from a computer science background, I was already familiar with Python scripting but wanted to add a fun twist to my assignment. I decided to create a custom Maya user interface that allows the user to choose between options for types of train cars as well as choose the train's material colors. After the user makes their choices, the script generates a train with the chosen cars and colors. I had a lot of fun learning how to implement Python into Maya and seeing all of the things that can be done with scripting!
