About The Project

Getting Started

2. Rename the package to something like pokerSpring

3. Launch through script editor:

   from pokerSpring import pokerUI
   pokerUI.show()

Usage

The current version of the tool requires a maya file already being setup, it contains the necessary control curves to guide the cards, which can be found in the example folder.

Initialize deck starting look, adjust card spring parameter using slider

Re-position guide curves and shuffle deck
