MEL Scripting
MAYA TAKES THE
lion’s share of high-end 3D work in
the feature film and visual effects industry. You can
trace this fact to one particular trait: the software
is infinitely customizable. The customization is not
restricted to multimillion-dollar productions, however.
You can customize Maya to your own tastes and
thereby work faster, more intelligently, and most
important, more comfortably. The most thorough and
powerful method of customization is the application
of MEL scripting. MEL is the underlying language on
which the entire program is built. Every single tool
and function within Maya has one or more lines of
MEL code associated with it.
