Over the last few years, I have been spending a lot of my time scripting. From small scripts for 3ds Max and Motion Builder to whole systems and semi-intelligent automation process for Maya and Vicon Blade, you’ll find a wide spectrum of scripts here!

Here I will share out my scripts, all of which are Open source, free of charge and useable for commercial work.

I would ask that you keep the top of the files intact so that people know that the script originally came from me.

Please, help yourself!

 

Any questions or enquires, feel free to email me.
