Mel Scripts, Plugins and Bears... Oh My.

Here is a list of scripts that make my day to day grind that much more bearable. Some scripts are free from such amazing sites like Creative Crash (formerly highend3d) and Autodesk Area. Others, (mostly plugins) like that amazing NEX plugin have a price tag.

• Bonus Tools and Layout/Level Tools
Stop reading and go get both of them! Bonus Tools and Level Tools are located under plugins category
• NEX plugin
#1 most bad ass Maya modeling plugin!(Not free but worth every penny!)
• Zen Tools
Great set of modeling tools! Needs Bonus tools to work.
• Comet Scripts
Even if you don't do much rigging/setup work these are must have tools.
• Array
This thing makes Mayas duplicate special option box look like a joke. A++ duplication tool.
• djRivet
This creates a "rivet" on the surface of your geo allowing you to constrain stuff to a moving or deforming object.
• yd_cracKut
Fast boolean tool that leaves you with all three possible boolean results.
• mh_selectFaces
This script selects the face on any given axis of your model. More awesome Mike Harris scripts Here

This is a less destructive average vert tool. Oleg Alexander has many more amazing scripts Here
• Crucutski
This is fantastic shatter script by Seth Hall. Everything this guy does is amazing
• dp SaveScenePlus

• X-Tools
A pretty awesome way of uncluttering / organizing all of the modeling tools you know and love.
