Missed the class on friday due to family visiting but went through the scipting tutorial at home. I can really see myself getting into this.
You can view the script i wrote by clicking on this beautiful blue text.
I also found some good tutorials on scripting by Chris Zurbrigg. Then fiddled with his Maya Plugin Charcoal Editor because the default script editor isn’t so snazzy. Sadly Charcoal Editor costs $$$ so I should try and find something else in the long term as the demo doesn’t let you save :(
