BlendShape Monitor (Maya)

Less time hunting for sliders, more time for the artwork.

BS Monitor is a professional tool built for Riggers and Animators who are tired of fighting with Maya’s cluttered UI. It’s designed to help you see exactly what’s happening in complex facial rigs, especially when you're dealing with hundreds of BlendShapes or messy RBF setups.

The built-in Heatmap Visualization provides an instant look at exactly where each BlendShape is affecting the mesh. Instead of guessing based on names, you can see the actual area of influence directly on the model, making it much faster to catch errors or overlapping deformations.

Key Features

• 📊 Live Tracking: Real-time weight syncing during animation playback.
• 🔥 Effective Heatmaps: One-click vertex visualization. Even the smallest unwanted offsets or "dirty" vertex movements are easy to spot.
• 👁️ Solo/Global Visibility: Essential for checking specific targets efficiently.
• 🔍 Weight Filter: Automatically hides inactive shapes to keep your UI clean.

Requirements

• Compatibility: Maya 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025+ (Python 3).

Licensing

• freelancer License: For single freelancers and personal projects.
• Studio License: For professional studios requiring multiple seats and pipeline integration support.
