MEL Scripting a Character Rig in Maya

This video is a demo of the rig and scripts taught in my new book MEL Scripting a Character Rig in Maya by Chris Maraffi (New Riders 12/08). All models, Autodesk Maya files, and MEL script files at the publisher download site, www.peachpit.com/melscripting , work in Maya versions 2008-2010 (must register to download files). Use the 2009 files for both Maya 2009 and 2010. Read reviews at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/MEL-Scripting-Character-Rig-Maya/dp/0321383532/ref=sr_1...

Hey Chris Fantastic book, i was wondering why dont you turn that whole book into a video tutorial?? Also does your book teach how to make GUI or do they just come with the book already made?

[chrismaraffi]

Thanks! My publisher would not allow video tutorials of everything. But yes, I teach the GUI interface, and provide all the code as well.

I got the book. Excellent value and very informative. Gives good insight into developing a character setup his way or developing your own. Well done Chris, keep em coming.
