Bonus Tools is a free collection of useful Maya scripts and plug-ins. After installing Bonus Tools, an additional pull-down menu will be added to the end of the main Maya menu. This new menu provides easy access to a variety of tools and utilities for daily use. This new version of Maya Bonus Tools has been completely reorganized and now mimics the layout of the standard Maya menu sets. Each sub-menu contains a number of related tools. Each of these can be torn off and floated just like standard Maya menus.

Bonus Tools are provided to you on an "AS-IS" basis; Autodesk® does not provide any support in connection with this collection.
