Free Maya Bifrost Files: Bootcamp 10.1 Procedural Cable Generator Tool
Original title: Bifrost Bootcamp 10.1 - Building tools for 3D pipelines
Overview
These are the lesson 10 files from Autodesk's Bifrost Bootcamp series on the Maya Learning Channel, covering 'Building tools for 3D pipelines'. The package contains scenes, compounds and lesson plans for a procedural wire and cable generator built in Bifrost, which takes curve inputs and exposes count, rotation, sag and culling controls, then packages the graph as a tool other artists can reuse.
The files are a free direct download from Autodesk Area, and the external Valhallens Helpers (GitHub) and MJCG compound packs must be installed separately. Useful for technical artists learning to turn Bifrost graphs into shareable pipeline tools.
