DeltaMush Manager

DeltaMush Manager for Maya

Version: 1.0

Overview

DeltaMush Manager is a lightweight but powerful tool for Maya that allows you to quickly manage DeltaMush deformers on any geometry. It lets you add, delete, connect to a controller’s scale, disconnect, reset attributes, highlight influenced geometry, and paint DeltaMush weights, all through a clean and intuitive UI.

All operations are handled via Python and Maya’s native commands, with no need to manually track DeltaMush nodes or connections. Supports drag-and-drop into Maya or direct execution from the Script Editor.

Features

• Automatically list all DeltaMush nodes in the scene
• Add DeltaMush to selected geometry with customizable default settings
• Delete selected DeltaMush nodes
• Connect/Disconnect DeltaMush scale to a selected controller
• Reset DeltaMush attributes to default values
• Highlight geometry influenced by selected DeltaMush nodes
• Select/Deselect all DeltaMush nodes with one click
• Open Paint DeltaMush Weights UI directly from the tool
• Visual indicators (✅/❌) showing if scale is connected
• Drag-and-drop support for easy workflow
  

Installation

Drag and drop DeltaMushManager.py into the Maya viewport or execute it from the Script Editor
