I received an email yesterday from a person who purchased the Animator Friendly Rigging series and found that two mel scripts were missing:
js_matchObj.mel and js_matchObjUI.mel.
I’ve heard of others missing these as well, so I added them to the downloads page, along with js_iterator.mel.
If you’re missing them.. enjoy!

One of the things I’ve learned over the years is that it’s important to share your ideas as much as possible.  That’s how innovation happens.  It’s how things progress.  It’s how we learn.  I’ve never been afraid to put my own ideas out there because I know I’ll get back more in return.

I’ve created a Downloads page that has scripts from the Animator Friendly Rigging DVD series.  I’ll be adding varioius mel scripts and fixes to that page, so keep checking back!
Oh yeah, and happy holidays!

Due to popular demand, I’ve made the Jason Schleifer Rigging Bundle downloadable directly from LULU.com w/out having to purchase and ship a DVD.

To purchase, simply click [...]
