Some useful plug-in sharing articles for Maya
foreword
- The existence of the plug-in is to simplify the production. You will always find the plug-in when you need it. If you forget the plug-in you used before, you still can’t find it, so let’s sort it out and record it. If there are new ones, try to update them together, otherwise this record is equal to a white record.
- Good-hearted people are also welcome to recommend practical plug-ins (not limited to Maya software)

1 Introduction
This is Autodesk's official free enhancement package Bonus Tools. Bonus Tools provides Maya users with a set of practical small functions, especially for modeling, UV map editing and character binding.

Run the downloaded plug-in directly, install it by default, and open Maya after installation. The plugin will appear above Maya's edit bar. (If there is no window-settings/preferences-load it in the plug-in manager)
3. Use
- After installing the tool, there will be Bonus Tools on Maya's edit bar
- First use the curve tool to draw a curve, select the drawn curve, and execute Bonus Tools——Modeling——Curve to Tube Mesh
- A cylinder in the same direction as the curve in the figure will be obtained, and the desired tree trunk or pipe model will be obtained by adjusting the relevant attribute values of the cylinder.
