Re: Python for maya - Renaming and Skinning Multiple joints

For the naming, you already get the name from the for loop so you can just do something like cmds.joint(p=piv[0:3], name="%s_joint" % (geo)) (The % is a quick way to concatenate strings in python). Not sure about the skinning. Should have just bumped this one up than make a new thread haha. -
