Aharon Charnov details everything you wanted to know about using Maya shelves, but were afraid to ask in this tutorial design for intermediate to advanced users of Autodesk Maya. I like it! Watch the tutorial here. Keep in mind that this tutorial uses an older version of maya, with maya 2011, the interface is QT so the creation saving and use of icons would be different than what is shown here.
“Everything you wanted to know about MAYA shelves (but were afraid to ask). In this tutorial Aharon Charnov will show how to use every aspect of shelf customization. Also included in this video tutorial is how to add existing tools to shelves, how to organize tools for optimum use, how to create new tools with mel scripts, how to label mel created buttons, and how to create custom shelf icons.”
