jmLightCreator is a free tool in python I have written for easily creating lights in Maya with a templated name. Feel free to use it in your own projects or in production. (Optimized for MtoA)
-
Download and unzip the jmLightCreator.zip file from github
-
Place this folder where you want on your computer or server but you need to specify to MAYA_MODULE_PATH environment variable where is located this folder to allow maya to find it. So for example you extract under c:\jmLightCreator-master. To get it recognize by maya you need to add the following line in the maya.env file : MAYA_MODULE_PATH = C:\jmLightCreator-master
-
Drag and drop the "install.py" file onto the Maya viewport.
Note: Maya.env file is located to C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\maya\20##\Maya.env
