Some Maya MEL Scripts I Have Written Over These Years

Although most 3D software comes with a range of tools to help you complete various tasks, scripting languages such as MEL and Python can be useful in simplifying complicated tasks. These languages are particularly helpful for jobs that are not available from the GUI. They offer extensive functionality and can speed up complicated or repetitive tasks, making them valuable tools for your project. Below, I have included some scripts that I have written over the years.
