Scripting Demos

After learning MEL and Python it wasn’t long before I started writing tools that vastly improved my workflow and sped up several processes within a production pipeline.  Not to mention the countless hours of tedious work it has saved me, co-workers, and the studio.  Below are 2 demos of scripts I have written and use on a regular basis.  The first one I wrote using MEL code and allows me the ability to quickly create controls, orient them to a specified joint, and constrain the joint to the control.  The second I wrote using Python code and allows for the exporting and importing of animations and animation transfer to and from different rigs.
