Good call Mirek, I'd forgotten all about that one.

Highend3d.com is another similar site to this, albeit with a different 'flavour' as it were. The name should give you an idea what it's all about.

Here's a link to the download page for MEL scripts: Highend MEL downloads.

Mel scripting's dead easy when you get the hang of it, it's very similar to programming in C, and if you're fortunate to have done this previously you're 3/4 of the way there. If not, it's not a big deal to get started, there's lots of examples in the help system and you can get a good feel for it there.

95%+ of what you can do with a menu option or dialog check-box can be done with mel. If you're doing repetitive stuff it's a god-send.

A site worth checking out belongs to Kari Brown. This guy is a wiz with it, he's got well documented code and explains the ideas behind what he's trying to do. You can find his MEL tutroial page here: Kari Brown's MEL tutorial
