seithRename
DOWNLOAD:
Updated on 18 September 2010: v1.0
– First release.
(Maya 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011)
INFO:
I know there are already several renaming scripts for Maya out there, but each time I tried one out I found its interface (or overall method) to be unintuitive at best. I just hated having to stop and think twice about how to get what I needed, so I made this tool. It’s written in Python and it’s so simple it can be used by idiots. See, I use it all the time! 😛
Features:
- Rename anything by anything.
- Add a prefix or suffix.
- Act on just the selection or anything within the hierarchy.
- Precise feedback on what happened during the process.
Installation:
First, close Maya. Then put seithRename.py within your “My Documents\maya\20xx\scripts” folder (or “C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya20xx\Python\lib\site-packages“). Finally, start Maya and make a MEL button with the following command:
python(“import seithRename as seithRename”);
python(“seithRename.seithRename()”);
This will launch the interface and then you’re on.
Hi, Seith! Great job! I am using maya 2013 now and some problem with executing this script tool. Maya told me that syntax error :# Error: invalid syntax #
import seithRename as seithRename! Please reply if you c this. THanks!!
Mmh. Are you sure you’re in a Python tab and not a MEL tab when you type this?
Definitely! Thanks for replying. I copied the two lines to Python window, and it told me that. I tried twice by copying the .py file to both documents path and program path.@Seith

Hi, Seith! I uploaded the error picture here. http://postimage.org/image/6qe8efowr/
Hi, Seith! a friend helped me, problem solved!
she checked the usage inside the py file and found this:
python(“import seithRename as seithRename”);
python(“reload(seithRename)”);
python(“seithRename.seithRename()”);
it seemed you missed 1 line above.
FYI,
nothing wrong with Seith’s tool and his instruction, mind when click download, if you r using chrome, make sure to right click then select save as.
Great tool!
I cant download the pyscript
i like the idea anyhoo!
Hey Jason, you need to click on the download icon to download the script…
Hi Seith:
The link doesn´t work, can you fix it please?
