A big bag of game related MEL scripts for you

[naughty]

Hi end3Ders... long time no post...

to cut a long story short my employer Genepool closed down a couple of months ago and I'm just done getting myself, my work and my portfolio sorted out. Anyway, the top and bottom of it is that all the MEL stuff I wrote while at Genepool is now public domain (I guess) so I'm posting the details about it here. It's nearly all Game development related but a lot of the MEL tools will be useful to any Maya users...

If there's anything here that anyone can use or that may be useful if I modified it slightly I'd be glad to. (I'm currently twiddling my thumbs waiting to hear about a new job).

I'm just in the process or re-writting sections of all these MELs (to remove all the Genepool engine-related specifics) but you'll eventually be able to download the MEL scripts directly from my site (and many more I've not got round to detailing on the site). I can't guarentee how long till that's ready to go but you can always drop me a line if there's anything there you'd like to get your grubby hands on..

This link is actually one page from my online portfolio but it'll have to do you until I've sorted the scripts and their downloading out.
Sorry, there's a lot of images on the page so be patient if you have a slow modem...

ooh, I almost forgot, they're all for Maya 4.5 too, so some of the UI stuff probably won't work for Maya 5 and I don't have Maya 5 to check or fix them sorry.

Sorry to hear that. I wish you were on this side of the ocean because we actually have an open slot on our team that I would have loved to try and get you for.

Anyway, that is a lot of script work there and I will be looking forward to several of them. Nathangulate looks very useful. As does Extrude Edge with UVs.

Are you ready to release these babies yet?

Blimey, that was a bit more of an adventure than I had anticipated, and would you believe it, I get a new job the day after I announce I'm gonna sort out my MEL scripts, and they want me to start the next day!

oh well... better late than never I guess.. sorry if anyone has been waiting!

That's the first lot there... there's about 40 scripts and I've still about 10 to tidy up but they shouldn't be more than a couple of days now, now the page is up and running I'll just keep adding scripts as and when. Oh, and another thing, I've not sorted out the images yet so they're all "No Image" at the moment.

There's also a ZIP file if you want to download them all in one go.

If anyone does a good job of enhancing any of them, or converting them to work on Maya 5.0 let me know cos I'd like to add them to the page. Or you can upload them to highEnd3D if you'd prefer, once you've downloaded them I don't mind what you do with them.

Just have fun!
