For my first script, I have made an animation tester tool. Use it to quickly test animation core concepts; Set a timeline range between fr1-24, create 'little' primtives, plug transform values into the UI, the viewport will automatically react/animate in a loop and also help you learn to visualize animation through the graph editor as you go.
(from the README.txt)
Future updates for the tool:
1. To sliders:
a) Value input box beside the slider.
b) Live updating of changing values on sliders while Maya viewport is playing.
c) Rotation and scale sliders.
d) If sliders are moved while a non-Little-Animator asset is selected, the script editor will ask use to select a Little Animator asset.
2. In adding new elements to UI:
a) Time range for quick input, limiting to 1-24 frames, so user does not have to use the timeline for playback.
b) Auto-loop playblack.
c) An uneditable graph editor preview that will reflect changing anim curves as sliders are moved.
d) More primitives.
e) Apply shaders, to differentiate between primitives.
f) Create a button to isolate to only Little Animator assets.
3. To UI design:
a) More appealing Image.
b) More space between columns.
c) Compose for a more spacious feeling UI.
