How does one take an older script and update it to be compatible for new versions of Maya? Would I have to recreate the script again or be able to change a few things in order for the scripts to work? If so, where's the best place to learn scripting for maya? Thank you
Hey Everyone, My work let me release this script that mel guru "Naughty Nathan" wrote for us awhile back. At the time there was nothing like this that I was aware of. I'm not sure if there is anything like it out there now, but I thought I would post it here just in case anyone wanted to use it. You can download it here.…
I have an idea for a script, it possibly and even likely it is already out there but I wouldn't know how to go about finding it so i will ask on here for some advice. My idea is for a script that will quick planar map all the polygons of a mesh one by one. I know the flatten mapping too does something similar to this but…
Thanks Bartalon, I had to select all the groups contents and then run your script, and it worked awesome. I'll just have to go through and run that script before I run the main script. Do you have anything similar to your script that merges and cleans up references, or is that a whole different thing? I have no idea with…
Hey guys, I compiled a new Cube Map Pack similar to my previous pack and I've also recently written a Cube Map Cycler Python script for Maya. 512px at mip lvl 0, extra blur for each mip to be used for setting reflection roughness with real-time shaders such as my TGA PBL shader(which just got an update). Let me know what…

Hello guys, I've been following some tutorials from Simon Fuchs about hard poly modeling within max and a little bit of Zbrush. In this tutorial he shares some files so that we can use the scripts that he uses aswel, but he only seems to explain how one of them is installed, similar to textools this one is very easy to…
Hi folks ! I spent quite of time in the past (and even today) to find any informations on how to execute mel commands from an ascii scene file. Unfortunately I didn't found any clue on this "feature". By reading a Maya ascii I can see it's mostly simple commands executed like in any mel script. I was able to launch one of…
Hey guys, I'm getting to some tutorials I promised I would make today. Here is the first one: It's a beginners Macro Script tutorial aimed at teaching people to record actions in 3ds max and then create shortcut buttons or hotkeys for these actions. I'm sure many of you are familiar with how to do this in Photoshop. This…
