Description
Bonus Tools 2018 is a free collection of useful Maya scripts and plug-ins. After installing Bonus Tools, an additional pull-down menu will be added to the end of the main Maya menu. This new menu provides easy access to a variety of tools and utilities for daily use. Maya Bonus Tools has been organized to mimic the layout of the standard Maya menu sets. Each sub-menu contains a number of related tools. Each of these can be torn off and floated just like standard Maya menus.
Additionally, various modeling related BonusTools are integrated into the standard Shfit+RMB marking menus. This gives power modelers fast, context sensitive access to all modeling functionality contained within BonusTools, without having to break out of your modeling workflow. Simply select a mesh, face, edge or vertex and hold Shift+RMB.
Bonus Tools are provided to you on an "AS-IS" basis; Autodesk® does not provide any direct support in connection with this collection. However, submission of problems and suggestions are encouraged and can be logged through from the Maya Help menu with Report a Problem or Suggest a Feature.

Hello, I installed bonus tool for maya 2016 but i didn't see the modelling => curve tube mesh. Disabled it?
I just installed this tools, but there isn't "Weight Editor" in "Bonus Tools" menu.
The weight editor is only available for Windows for some reason. It would be nice if they included binaries for OSX and Linux. better yet if they included the source so we all build our own and improve upon it.
Crashes every time I change icon size in the layout window (tried on different computers). Images displayed in icons are not scaled so appear cropped.
Works fine in 2017, but I also want it to work in 2016, which is also installed on my Mac, but the "universal installer" provided ignores it, and does not install bonus tools to the older installed version of Maya.
some commands like "copy pivot from last selected" are missing in maya 2018. Any workaround?
no new feature for bonus tools 2018 !!!! why ???
When is the release of "Maya2018 Bonus Tools" scheduled?
Is it slowing down?. This maya2018 hasn't come out yet. When will it be out?
Please we need the 2018 version of this plugin! I think the bonus tools should be part of each Maya releases.
