scripts

Below are the scripts I wrote or I found useful during these years of production. I would be glad if you find useful somehow too. Most were developed and tested in maya 2009 and max 2009. Any bug report or suggestion is welcome.

MEL

• Download and unzip the rar's content to the location you are going to keep it.
• Drag the mel onto your running maya.
• Add icon to current shelf by clicking tools' menu.

MAXSCRIPT

• Download this and unzip.
• Put it into the max's scripts startup folder, e.g. C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2009\Scripts\Startup.
• Open with notepad. Change the path to where you store the function scripts.
• [ Note: don't put other scripts under scripts startup folder, otherwise they will be called once you start max ]
• Restart max if running.
