Color Marker is a small Outliner/Viewport management script for Autodesk Maya that will allow you to add some colours in Outliner and the Viewport (mesh wireframe, deformers, curves, emitters, joints…) making it way easier to see and arrange stuff if you are dealing with the heavy scene.
Color Marker – v3.0
A lot of people complained about the new icons after Maya 2016 was first released, especially guys who are doing rigging/animation type of work. This script should hopefully make things a bit easier not only for rigging/animation type of work but also managing objects while modelling.
