Taylor: Need a custom script?

I am in scripting class this semester and am trying to come up with an idea for my final project. If you have needs that can be filled by a script or two, let me know. I'd love to make something that will actually help people out. So far we have done things like create a simple rig builder, and create procedural geometry. I can also do GUI's (graphic menu's). If you have any suggestions or needs, I'd love to hear them.

Anthony Merola- "Unknown Nodes" error

Hey everyone,

I know that I have run into this a few times, where maya does not allow me to save a scene because it says it contains "unknown nodes" and thus cannot change the file type.

I found this handy mel command which tells maya to parse the scene for any unknown nodes, and subsequently deletes them.

The instructions can be found here.

Enjoy!

Scott Cho: Blocking Pass 1 (AFG)

Here's my character's idle pose(0:00-0:08) and three strike attack(0:09-0:12). I will add a running pose in a week.

"Jack is a hot tempered kid who used to be a victim of bullying since he was little. Normally, he is very quiet and nervously looks around his surrounding while being careful not to lower his guard.

He gets really furious when he sees bullying and never shows any no mercy to his enemies. Although He has a kind personality, many people do not realize it because he does not express it on his face.
Jack is also has pressure due to a fact that he does not have friends."

I need more time to adjust timing(punching, etc) and feel free to share your ideas!
