Making a Mel Scripting Tutorial?

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

I see that there are none on this site?
I have made a bunch myself, and I was thinking of making some if anyone was interested in the MEL scripting portion of maya.

mel scripts dont really translate well to video. It would be a bit boring to watch really... don't you think?

If anyone wants some I guess I could do some...

Yeah, I must agree with Alan. It would be pretty boring.

Hey bro, I say go for it, it can’t be any more boring then watching a model being put together and besides with out the basic under standing of mel? It would make it hard for any one to create a tool to help them self's out so you wouldn’t have to repeat the same complicated procedure over and over. I would make some videos if I could but Im a busy guy at the moment. user added image
