Hello VFX & Animation Professionals! ๐Ÿ‘‹

I'm excited to introduce an innovative addition to your Maya toolkitโ€”SceneSnapshot! ๐ŸŒŸ using the hot key โ€œShift + Sโ€

In fast-paced production environments, keeping track of different versions of your scene is crucial. SceneSnapshot allows you to quickly create incremental backups of your Maya scene with a single click, ensuring that you can always revert to a previous state if needed.

  • Quick Backups:ย Instantly save incremental versions of your scene without interrupting your workflow.

  • Version Control:ย Automatically manage scene versions, making it easy to track changes and revert if necessary.

  • Customizable Naming:ย Define your own naming conventions for snapshots to keep everything organized.
