Thanks!!
Great Jason!! Thanks for your awesome DVDs and the fixes. Have a nice Christmas!
Thank you!
you are great and i am your fan. no animator becomes great without your works and advises. once again i thank to your knowledge sharing which places us as animators.
Hey Jason
I’m trying to download your Joint Orient script, and it prompts me that I need to be logged in to download it. I’m taking a rigging class at the Academy of Art University in SF, and this script was recommended to us by our teacher.
thanks

Heya Ingo!
you should be able to create an account and then log in and download. I require logging in so I can keep track of who downloads the files.
great! thanks!
Thank god i found your web site
Thanx for all you’ve done and doing.
Grease Pencil?
What ever happened to it? I can’t find it anywhere!
also, I’ll make mention that i got version 3 of greasepencil and it’s incredible…
any chance of making the next version support maya brushes? (so we can render out our animations)
Hey Jason, I cant select the categories link form the drop-down beside the button GO.
Are you still having this problem, FrostBlue?
Hey Jason,
thanks for replying,the categories link shows up in italic and I cant select it on Firefox from linux.I tried Konqueror and it doesn’t even show categories in the drop-down.
So I tried IE version 7 on XP and even there I cant select the link.
All of this was today.
Just wanna say,its nice to see your site back up and I am very grateful for all the scripting goodness that you keep sharing with the community…
Cheers boss…
haha
part of the problem ( I just realized) is that there are no other categories. 
that would be why you can’t go there.. heh
hehe…I knew it…Actually I thot so after posting the first comment ,late at nite…:D
My error as a result of lack of sleep…

“You must be logged in to download this file.”
cool stuff
@gaia
were you able to log in and get the file, gaia?
thank you very much for your help, jason!
your grease pencil is sOOo great! thanks jason!!!!!!
Thanks Jason. Downloaded the DVD’s from Autodesk subscription. Really nice overview in how to approach rigging from animator perspective. CGToolkit Art of Rigging is also nice but isn’t very animator friendly
I am working my way through AFR. I am on section 3a, at the point where you start to use “Attach length to joints” script.
Unfortunately I didn’t get this script when I downloaded the DVD from Autodesk. I also checked and found that there are 7 other scripts that I didn’t get.
They are:
1. Rename selected as parent
2. Grep rename
3. Stretchy IK creation
4. Create Twisty Segment
5. Copy set Driven Keyframe
6. Set Driven Key: Auto Drive
7. Attach length to joints.
I checked the downloads page but I didn’t see them. Perhaps they are somewhere I couldn’t find.
Is there a way that I could get these scripts?
I would greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks
John
Jason
Before I added this post I had only looked at AFR up to 3a. I unzipped all of the lessons and found the ones I listed above.
I added them to the script directory with the other AFR script files and also the icon images.
When I started Maya 2010 the entire shelf failed to load.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Jack
Hi Jason,
I was trying to get ahold of the Grease Pencil Tool, but don’t see where to download it. Is it still available? Thanks!
Hello Jason,
I’ve been watching the AFR series and this is an excellent learning source.
Thank you,
John
Thanks Johnk!
Jables, I can publish that out for you.. i’ll put it out there tonight!
Hi Jason,
I just d/led the grease pencil, and really love it! Thank you for sharing this script.

Hi,
It seems that the jp_greasePencil_movie zipped folder is not working… Is there anyway I can d/l the movie file? Thanks.
Khor
heya pkok!
Strange! you know what? I’ll see if I can youtube it!
Hi Jason,
First off, thank you for taking the time to upload the jp_greasePencil, sure u r tie up with yr job, so, this is really nice of you to do that.
I have recently published my art book, if you like, I’d like to send the book to you as a big thank you for letting us to d/l the script for free n also uploading the video. Well, that is if u like, just let me know.
Base on the read me. I put the script in script folder and icons in icons folder (maya version). However, when I execute the script, I got this error “File not found: add.bmp” I wonder if I put the icons in the wrong folder?
Are you running on windows, linux, or os x? Can you let me know what the full path is of where you put the icons?
cheers!
Hi Sir,
can you guide me how to have a stretch IK on off switch.
Personally, I wouldn’t want to tell the arm not to stretch.. I like having that control.
However, if you DID want to have a toggle, what I would probably do is put an attribute on the hand control called isStretchy and make it a boolean.
Then, if you’re controlling the stretch from an expression you could check isStretchy. If it’s on, then allow the joints to translate. If not, then you would set their lengths to be the default length.
If you’re using nodes, you could insert a choice node inbetween the nodes driving the length of the joints and the joints themselves.. if jsStretchy is off, choose the original lengths. If it’s on, then choose whatever nodes are driving the stretch.
Does that make sense?
Thanks a lot sir.
Hello, I wanted to try out the grease pencil but it says I have to login…. help?
heya don!

Thanks Jason, I got it to work
I come from China, I really like your class, it is very interesting. But Js_setUpMultiConstraint.mel script that I use wrong.
Heya Pabo!
Are you using it with the UI or from a script? What errors are you getting?
