Apple Box Builder

A UI that allows the user to quickly create the iconic Apple Box you've seen on almost every film set. I designed this to help lineups and layouts in my postvis bookings. Often, we are sent plates that require fully digital characters to be placed in the shot. The photography can be tricky to get the sizes correct. The apple box method gives me a recognisable dimension and can be understood along the chain, especially useful when communicating with the editorial department.

The assets all have their pivots matching the side in which the apple box is first generated, this makes it easier to snap and place in the scene.

The script is controlled via the GUI. It lists the dimensions of each apple box for reference, helpful if you want to add that to your shot notes.
