The updated version comes with 6 new tools for animation workflows in Maya.

Developed by former Weta Digital and Framestore animator Andrew Silke, and previously known as C3dC, Zoo Tools Pro 2 is a versatile, Python-based modular framework of Maya tools. Recently they released an updated version – Zoo Tools Pro 2.5.0 intended to streamline everyday modeling, texturing, lighting, and animation tasks.

The release fleshes out its animation toolset significantly, overhauling the general-purpose Animation Toolbox and adding new tools for baking, retiming and randomizing animation.

Features:

• Bake Animation tool that combines preexisting  Bake Channel and Bake Simulation tools into a single UI.
• Randomize Keyframes tool that allows for a more precise retime animation.
• Randomize Objects tool that randomizes the position, rotation, and scale of multiple models.
• And more.
