A Useful Script for Maya to Generate Welding Seams

There are several excellent tools available from Romain Chauliac a.k.a Wizix to support hard-surface modeling workflows in Maya. His most recent script, WeldIt, allows you to quickly generate welding seams by obtaining the intersection of objects in Maya.

WeldIt will enable you to make welds with only one click depending on where your meshes connect. The script uses Maya’s Bifrost to find the intersections and create the welds. To better explain how Weldlt works, the creator has published a tutorial: 

WeldIt supports Maya 2022 to Maya 2024 for Windows, Mac, and Linux. You can learn more and buy the tool for $10 here.

WeldIt is not the first script released by the creator. His first product, ShadeIt, can let you easily create and edit real-time shaders for Maya. Earlier, Romain also showcased his Face of Bitcoin project and shared a comprehensive breakdown, explaining how to make Satoshi Nakamoto in ZBrush, Maya and Arnold.
