LocOnLoc 4.6.0 for Maya (maya script)

LocOnLoc or LOL (Shelf Name) is a short for Locator On Location.

If you run the script, a window opens where you can create locator at the world space position of each selected object that has a transform node, even vertices, lights... - everything you can move around.

The locator is created as Locator_* (name of the selected object).
It has the translation, rotation, scale and rotation order (if exists) of the selected node.

Just select a bunch of stuff and create locators on it.
If you check "Bake Animation to Locators", the animation of the selection is baked to the locator for your timerange.

I wrote it as a tool for matchmoving, for example to have a locator on the edge of a building to move the camera around, but there are a lot of other cases where it might be handy.

See Version History for recently added features and improvements.
