Texture and UV atlas script

[olsen6]

I am looking for a way to combine multiple objects with multiple textures into multiple objects sharing just one texture. To do this a new texture would need to be created containg all the objects textures packed into one. THe objects UVs would also need to be scaled and offset correctly to fit in the new Big Atlas texture.

Do you know anything about this kind of script? I found NinjaUV, but something more?

I get this error when running the Easy Atlas script:

Error: ImportError: file C:/Users/ThisGuy/Documents/maya/2018/scripts\easy_atlas\core.py line 1: No module named PySide.QtCore

A friend said I was missing the Python libraries and he said to go here: https://wiki.qt.io/PySide but their download page isn't working. 

Any suggestions? I am not code-friendly, so layman's terms would be appreciated. 🙂

I found this and it works for 2018.

Hello, I can not get Easy Atlas to work in Maya 2019.

1. I put the "easy_atlas" script folder in C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\maya\2019\scripts

2. I pasted "import easy_atlas; easy_atlas.launch()" into the Python Script editor.

3. I get # Error: ImportError: file C:/Users/Sean.Rodrigues/Documents/maya/2019/prefs/scripts\easy_atlas\core.py line 1: No module named PySide.QtCore # 

Has anyone found a fix for this error?

for those who cant run after successfully copy the folder into scripts folder. copy execution code into notepad and make it in 2 lines like down blow. and hit enter. It will work

import easy_atlas
easy_atlas.launch()

We're trying to get this working in Maya 2020. On running

import easy_atlas
easy_atlas.launch()

We get:

# Error: RuntimeError: file C:/.../maya/2020/scripts\easy_atlas\core.py line 181: Controls must have a layout. No layout found in window : #

Any help greatly appreciated!
