Scripts
Floating City Script Demonstration
Based on houses in Haiti displaying the hypothetical, "What if we floated instead of fell", referencing the 2010 earthquake. I took inspiration from the colorful houses on the hills of Petionville now rendered in white to symbolize the lost souls.
Using Python in Maya I made a realignment script and a window that will apply the script
