This is a quick Maya script designed to update a skeletal mesh (dst) to match
the joint transforms of a different skeletal mesh (src). This will only work
if both meshes have the same set of joints with identical names and joint
orientations.

My initial rationale for needing this script:

The UE4 Mannequin included in Epic's Animation Starter Pack is authored in
A-Pose, whereas the meshes in the Prototype Characters pack (from Ying Pei

Place in any folder under %APPDATA%\Sublime Text 3\Packages, then add a

A quick-and-dirty command for Sublime Text 3. Based on the built-in command

scrape_commenters.py
by Alex Forsythe
19 August 2013

Uses the youtube all_comments page together with BeautifulSoup (not included in
the standard library) to generate a list of the users who have commented on a
specific video. Since YouTube aggressively throttles responses to all_comments,
it may take multiple attempts (separated by a lengthy timeout) to pull down all
comments.

retrieve_commenters.py

Uses the YouTube API v2 to generate a list of the users who have commented on a
specific video. Thanks to the limitations of this API, only examines the first
1000 comments.

rename_selected_relation_box.py
Written by Alex Forsythe (awforsythe.com)

When executed, attempts to locate any selected box within any relation
constraint in the scene. If a selected relation box is found, prompts the user
to enter a new name for that box. Allows relation boxes to be given more
descriptive names. I'd recommend binding this script to a keyboard shortcut
(see MotionBuilder/bin/config/Scripts/ActionScript.txt) for quick access.
