[Maya] Various Mel scripts questions
Hi polycounters ! 0/ Since a few hours (maybe more) I'm trying to learn and make a custom tool for Maya and my workflow. I have already programmed in C++ in the past, so the Mel language is not so hard to understand for me. The hard part is to find the name of the various function inside maya, but even with that, I still…
