How to snap two objects together in maya? Let's use this magnet tool!


Maya snap tool

Here is my AS_Snap tool!

I think this might be the first tool I created years ago when I starter as a young animator, I used it everyday since. I don't even know why Maya don't have it by default!


What does it do?


Very simple, it is simply matching the position and rotation in space between two (Or more) objects! Simple Maya magnet tool.

How does it work?


Maya select parent

Maya select children

"SNAP"


Et Voila!

  1. Select the "Parent"

  2. Select one or multiple object-s

  3. Hit the tool button, all objects will be matching the parent's location


Fancy a video demo?






Where to get it?

You can find this maya snapping tool, on my Gumroad page:
