Re: Need some advice from Technical Artists
Kwarmm speaks the truth though weird they suggest python then Mel. IMO once you work with python and understand it you won't want to touch Mel ;P Though would just try to understand how to program then learning a language. Rest is just syntax -

Should'a been Mel Gibson's Safari 4. I believe the most accurate and riveting representation of life and death in Africa has already come and gone with Mel Gibson's Safari 3. [ame] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YQvUVkLXHE&feature=related[/ame] -
Re: Maya; reset pivot to 0, 0, 0, with a button?
Make a mel button with thisxform -ws -a -rp 0 0 0 Changes the rotation pivot only, use -sp for the scale pivot. I'm no good at mel or scripting so I can't figure out how to string them together, but it should do what you're looking for. -

Rigging is complex, learn MEL, and you'll have alot of control. Maya is MEL no going around this, unfortunately. Why some prefer Modo, there is scripting in Modo but you can do alot without knowing much scripting with Modo. Currently I'm putting focus on render control. -
Re: Autodesk Stingray game engine
Is it possible to send commands from Maya to the Stingray console port or to Maya's script editor port? python/mel to lua? Does installation of the DCC link give us any new commands mel functionality we can leverage if nothing else for querying on the Maya side? -

Re: Which software do you hate the most to work with (for whatever reason)?
I feel like I'm probably one of the few people that like Git. Mostly because all I do is software development, and Git was really designed for that. But I'm not very fond of Maya for a few reasons. * MEL is terrible. There's a whole slew of issues I have with it. The Python wrapper, short arguments, functions doing way too… -
Re: ShaderFX TGA PBL shader
"reload textures in the shader similar to how Maya's regular File nodes work" Could perhaps do something via MEL? There is a "shaderfx" command available (but not documented in MEL help docs) shaderfx -help; shaderfx -update might work. Not sure. I guess it depends if other shaders in the viewport use the same texture…
