Creative Case’s Janos Hunyadi shares a plugin he developed for easily aligning 3D scans within Maya. The Scan Aligner Plugin will place a widget in the viewport allowing you to place and position the locators against the scan. Once the locators are placed, the Scan Aligner Plugin adjusts the scan properly in the scene – it couldn’t be easier.
Janos does note that Scan Aligner Plugin only runs on Maya 2015 running in OS X at the moment, but if there is enough demand he will compile a Windows version. Check out the Free Scan Aligner Plugin for Maya here.
