I have been wanting to create an animation tool that will help animators have an easier time working. There was a tool something like this that I used to use all the time but I don't know if it still is functional anymore. So I used what knowledge I have with Python and Maya, I built this animation tool that I hope is helpful to all you lovely people.

It is built with Python in Maya 2023 on Windows 10 OS. I am not certain on what other versions or operating systems it will work with. So please let me know for those using older versions or other OSes where it works or does not work. That way I can update this to communicate to the community.

As this is the end of 2022, consider this a holiday gift to you all. It is set to pay what you would like (free is an option that I'm fine with. It is my gift to the animation community.

I have made videos to cover how to install and use the tool (inside the JRAT Read Me.pdf file). Installation - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWH33qQk0p4 Start Up and Layout Sections - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAuujQTIiPg Animation Section Part 1 (not Constraint and Match Placement) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgdiPfMDZtU Animation Section Part 2 (Constraint and Match Placement) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koUlv_mSxoI Playblast Section - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUU0V07QRKE

Update v 1.2 Added a Tween Slider on the Animation section of the Main Tab. This behaves similarly to TweenMachine.

Update v 1.1 UI - Added Tabs to organize systems - Main tab contains commonly used functions (Start Up and Animation sections) - Prep and Playblast contains less common functions (Layout and Playblasting) Layout - Removed Flat Lighting button - Organized rows with common functions Playblast - Removed Playblast Encoding - Added Playblast Options button to open Options UI.
