Smart Locator

🎯 Smart Locator Tool for Maya Users 🎯

As animators and riggers, we often need to place locators exactly where our objects are — whether for constraints, referencing, or animation control.

So I created a simple Python tool in Maya that does just that, with a clean and user-friendly UI:

✅ Lets you enter a custom name for the locator (optional)
✅ Automatically matches the locator to the selected object’s position and rotation
✅ Creates a clean group for the locator and zeroes out its transforms
✅ If no name is entered, it smartly uses the selected object’s name

A small but handy script that helps keep your scene clean and organized — especially useful for rigging or scene prep.

💡 Built with Python and Maya's native cmds module.
