The dna_viewer contains all the needed classes for reading and creating a functional rig in Maya from the DNA file. It is organized in a way that allows every option to be configurable, so you can easily get the exact result you want.

Examples

• Generates rig
• Export FBX per LOD
• Propagate changes from Maya scene to dna
• Simple UI

• build_meshes
• build_rig
