Created October 11, 2020 00:11 — forked from viktorasm/automate manual ngSkinTools mirror influences.py

	# this is an example script how ngSkinTools can be automated
	# to configure left-right influence mapping
	# this example assumes that the scene has a skinned pPlane1
	# which has ngSkinTools info already initialized. if not,
	# see http://www.ngskintools.com/documentation/api/mll-interface.html
	# for tips to how to do that programatically

	# for this we use "manual mapping overrides" feature:
	# the same where you can correct automatic associations by hand,
	# only this time we choose to 'bake' the whole mapping using the

A bug in Autodesk Maya API

	"""
	This is a test for Autodesk Maya to demonstrate that when skin cluster inputs are not transform nodes,
	Maya simply crashes using MFnSkinCluster.setWeights() API call.

	1. Run this script a few times to demonstrate that everything works as expected: you have a simple skinned mesh,
	and you set weights for single joint, single vertex.
	2. set "enable_bug_and_crash_maya" to True and rerun script - might need few reruns of the script.
	Eventually, maya crashes.
