Animatrix Polisher — Mesh Keyframe Sculpting Tool

Animatrix Polisher is a Maya tool that allows animators to sculpt and keyframe meshes directly, giving full creative control over shapes and animation timing. Think of it like molding clay frame by frame — but inside Maya.

Key Benefits

– Sculpt & Keyframe Directly
Create animation by sculpting your mesh and setting keyframes instantly.

– Go Beyond the Rig
Add details the rig doesn’t provide, refine bad shapes, and fix mesh penetrations.

– Stylized Animation Freedom
Easily craft smear frames or extreme stylized poses.

– Non-Destructive Workflow
Safe and fast sculpting without breaking existing animation.

– Timing & Spacing Control
Adjust blendShape node tangents freely: slow in, slow out, spacing tweaks — full animation polish power.

– Organized Workflow with Multiple BlendShapes
You can hit New to create as many blendshapes as you need.
This makes it easy to separate and manage different parts of the body — e.g. Arm, Leg, Body, Head, etc.

How It Works?

– Pick your mesh in the UI.

– Create New BlendShape.

– Toggle Sculpt Mode → sculpt directly on the mesh at any keyframe.

– Exit Sculpt Mode → your shape is automatically stored as a key.

– Adjust timing, spacing, or tangents as needed for smooth results.

Use Cases

– Adding details that aren’t rigged

– Fixing mesh penetration during animation

– Polishing ugly blendshape results

– Creating smear frames for stylized motion

– Fine-tuning timing with tangent adjustments

***Note***

If you accidentally use Maya’s sculpt tool without entering Sculpt Mode, a createColorSet node might appear on your mesh.
Don’t worry — simply select the mesh and hit Delete createColorSet Node in the UI to remove it safely.

Isaac Newton Physics

Isaac Newton Physics is a Maya tool designed to create realistic prop animations automatically, without the need to keyframe everything by hand.
It leverages Maya’s legacy rigid body system to simulate physics quickly, then bakes the motion onto your controllers or meshes for final use in production.

Features

Quick Setup
Assign Sim Mesh, Colliders, and Destination easily. Works with multiple meshes and colliders.

Automatic Handoff
Simulation start and stop are controlled by the timeline. Build jumps to the correct start frame automatically.

Physics Controls
Adjust values such as friction, bounciness, damping, gravity, and direction until the motion feels right.

Bake Animation
Once satisfied, bake directly onto your chosen destination controller or mesh.

Reset Physics
Reset to restore all physics settings to their defaults.

Collision Support
Works even if your colliders have animation applied.

Installing
Just Drag NEWTON_Drag_install.py to viewport and Select IsaacNewton Folder

How to Use Isaac Newton Physics

1. Animate the object simply – create a rough guide animation to define the basic direction of the simulation.

2. Select the Mesh – choose the object(s) you want to simulate.

3. Select the Collider(s) – pick the meshes that will act as collision objects.

4. Select the Controller – choose the controller you want the final animation baked onto.

5. Choose the Start Frame – set the frame where you want the simulation to begin.

6. Adjust Physics Values – tweak the physics attributes until you’re satisfied with the motion.

7. Bake – bake the result directly onto your controller for a final animation.

Warning

Please be aware that Maya may lag or even freeze if:

You assign too many collider meshes at once.

Your collider meshes or simulation meshes have a very high polycount.

For best performance:

Use low-resolution proxy meshes as colliders whenever possible.

Keep the number of colliders to a minimum.

Hide or delete unnecessary geometry before running the simulation.
