Maya multiple bone maker Assign

Hi.

Request: Markers for multiple bone chains in batches

Hi there, I was wondering if it could be possible to implement functionality to create markers for simple bone chains in a quicker manner for batch setups What I had in my mind was to obtain similar results like the Alien rig in your demo solvers in an scenario where we have multiple characters like that with different limb sizes/etc, or for props with many hanging components, things that don’t really require that much tuning like a main character but that require a lot of manual work I’ll tr…

I saw this topic.

I want to do something similar in Maya.

How can I assign markers to multiple root joints at once when they’re selected?

The process would be very similar, here’s the Maya-version of that script.

Usage

1. Select a root
2. Run script

You can select a second root afterwards and hit G to repeat the last command for quick and efficient assignment.

# Get the current selection, which should be a single root Bone
from ragdoll.vendor import cmdx
from ragdoll import interactive as ri

selection = cmdx.selection()
root = selection[0]

# Walk the hierarchy to find every child
chain = []

def walk(root):
    chain.append(str(root))

    for root in root.children():
        walk(root)

        # In case of 2+ children, only walk the first child
        break

walk(root)

# Call on the default Assign Markers operator
cmds.select(chain)
ri.assign_and_connect()

Thank you! It worked!
