How to install FX Tools
Below is a quick video tutorial showing you how to install FX Tools :)
I also got a chance to make some updates to the tool, here is a video of some of these updates in action:
It is free to download and use - all we ask is that you credit ICM Studios if you use the tool. All you need to do is add a userSetup.mel file in the maya scripts directory and source the FX_Tools_EffectsMenu.mel I will update this blog every time there is a new release of the tool. I hope you enjoy it :)

Hi leslie,
I have uploaded an example userSetup.mel file to the blog post. see if that works and let me know. You need to save the file to:
C:\Users\computer name\Documents\maya\2012-x64\scripts\

Hello, I'm using Maya 2009 and I'm loading FX Tools v.0.3.1 with the userSetup.mel, the new menu of FX Tool appears with the Bubble Tool, but when I click it I get this error message...
// Error: Too many children in layout: frameLayout9.
Do I have to use an earlier version of the FX Tool or what can I do to solve it?
Thanks
Hi Gilberto,
Sorry for the late reply, I have had quite a busy month! not an excuse though. There is version 3.2 out now. Let me know if this fixes your bug. If not, can you let me know the process you go through to get the error please.

Hi,
I download your script and followed all your steps and it keeps giving me an error, I also read the comments for help and its still giving me problems please help
I really dont understand how I install this. Im sure there is a standard method but I dont know it or even what to search to work it out.
As I understand it I put the files included in the download into my
C:\Users\computer name\Documents\maya\2012-x64\scripts\
But then what?
What does this things about
source "ICMSTUDIOS-0.3.1/FX_Tools_EffectsMenu.mel";
Mean?
Also thanks for these amazing looking tools, you are a champ! Only wish I had the knowledge to figure out how to work them XD
