I wrote this MEL script to use the "Motion Path' tool in Maya more efficiently. I've noticed problems with tracking arcs on rigged characters, with the existing tool.

So, I resolved the problem by creating/ tracking a locator with a point constraint attached to the object being tracked. Please also consider the PerfectArc.mel solution too, which also does the trick.

VERSION 3.0 --> If an object is already tracked, the script will update the existing path.
VERSION 2.0 --> Supports highlighted time-range tracking in the timeslider.

This script will allow you to set a custom media player for your playblasts. There are also some nice presets and shortcuts to create playblasts more efficiently.

I created this script because I like to check my animation tests using Quicktime (because of it's frame by frame capability).

Soon this script will have the ablity to output playblasts as a MOV file, but for now this will have to do. Many other plans (listed in the ev_QTnotes.txt) for this script are in the works so stay tuned for v1.0.

This MEL utility is to ease the creation of facial poses for your character. It is setup similar to Maya's character sets, but has many added features. Please stay tuned, while I try to finish the stinkin' thing.

This MEL utility is to be used in the task of "object grabbing." This script will support 1 and 2 handed grabs, and a UI to control them all. This script is constraint based, but other methods may still be easier for some. Please stay tuned, while I try to finish the stinkin' thing.

COMING SOON...

I needed a tool, close to the "Planerize" maya plugin, that would take the selected vertices and move them into a average line. I wanted to avoid using the scale tool, which limits me to aligning them in a X, Y, or Z plane.
