    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi everyone,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I wanted to share a new Maya plugin I’ve been working on called &lt;STRONG&gt;LabelMatic&lt;/STRONG&gt;. It’s a lightweight annotation tool that displays live attribute values directly in the viewport — either as 3D text or a HUD overlay.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It’s been really handy for rigging and animation workflows, so I figured some of you might find it useful too.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Key features:&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;• Real-time attribute display&lt;BR /&gt;• 3D world-space text or HUD mode&lt;BR /&gt;• Customizable size, color, transparency, and grouping&lt;BR /&gt;• Namespace-friendly setups for referenced rigs&lt;BR /&gt;• Resolution and DPI compensation across machines&lt;BR /&gt;• Gradient-driven color and transparency&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Common uses:&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;• Debugging rigs and spotting unexpected values&lt;BR /&gt;• Animators checking key attributes at a glance&lt;BR /&gt;• Soft warnings when going beyond suggested limits&lt;BR /&gt;• Python tools showing live HUD info without extra UI&lt;BR /&gt;• TDs turning technical attributes into readable labels&lt;BR /&gt;• Shot reviews with clean, lightweight HUD elements&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Demo video:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-vH9y7qUJs" target="_new" rel="noopener"&gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-vH9y7qUJs&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If anyone tries it, I’d love to hear feedback or ideas for improvements.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Cheers,&lt;/P&gt;</description>
