scenario-maya-modeling
Use when modeling in Autodesk Maya, such as hard-surface props, weapons, vehicles, a sci-fi crate, a game-ready or SubD film model, or a character or creature base mesh, or when asked to "clean up this model" or a scene before rigging or UVs. Also for support loops vs bevels vs creases, Smart Bevel, weighted normals, hard edges, pinching or wobbly highlights, a faceted cage, flipped faces, a triangle budget, n-gons, non-manifold geometry, mirroring a half, a low poly from a high poly, or deformation-ready topology.
scenario-maya-pipeline-scripting
Use when writing or fixing Maya pipeline code in Python: mayapy batch jobs over many scenes, validating and auto-fixing scenes, FBX export for Unreal or Unity (static, skeletal, animation clips, Game Exporter), Alembic or GPU caches, USD export, stages and layers, references and namespaces, PySide6 tool windows, OpenMaya 2.0 plug-ins, or slow playback. Also when an FBX lands with wrong scale, normals, tangents or extra takes, a USD export has one frame or smoothed meshes, or one bad file kills a batch.
scenario-maya-animation
Use when animating a character or prop in Maya through Python: a walk or run cycle, a jump or landing, a heavy lift, throw or punch, an acting or dialogue shot, lip sync, eye darts and blinks, stepped blocking, splining, polish, Graph Editor tangents, animation layers, mocap cleanup or retargeting, game clips and root motion, or reviewing a playblast. Also when motion looks floaty, weightless, mushy, poppy, posey, sliding or chattery, or feet slap or skate.
