As a technical artist on a project team, I created a custom Maya tool that I wrote in Python language for the team to open up their programs of choice easily without wasting of finding them on the search bar or anywhere. This tool can open Substance Painter, Substance Designer, Zbrush, Photoshop, Motion Builder, SideFx Houdini, and 3Ds Max.
