A free animation picker for Autodesk Maya 2020 and newer.
https://www.nart-forge.com/picker/


INSTALL
-------
1. Unzip this folder anywhere (keep the files together).
2. Open Maya.
3. Drag  install_nartforge_picker.py  from this folder into the Maya
   viewport.

The picker opens, and a "NartForge Picker" button is added to the shelf
that is currently open. One install works for every Maya version on
your computer.

To update, download the new version and do the same again. Your picker
files and your licence are kept.
The picker tells you when a new version is out. In that message you can
ask to be reminded later, or turn the messages off (Help menu).


LICENCE
-------
NartForge Picker is free. It runs as a full trial for 14 days. To keep
using it, get a free licence key (it arrives by email in about a
minute):

    https://www.nart-forge.com/picker/licence/

In the picker choose  Help > Enter Licence Key , paste the key and
click Activate. A key is valid for one year and is free to renew.
You enter the key once: it then works in every Maya version on your
computer.


FIRST STEPS
-----------
Using a picker:   File > Open, choose a .nfp picker file, then pick your
                  character in the Namespace list.
