Autodesk Maya Python

I've been wiggling with python code for a year but only for this last 3 months I were able to actually implement the code within Maya. Below are some of the script that I have developed so far.

My firs trial is a Step Snap script which mainly used to plant the foot of the character by constraining it then key it within the selected timeline. This script used mainly within a shot that uses pre-animated walk-cycle  where the character feet tend to slide away.

The next one is a character synoptic (or a picker some may say). It helps the animator by giving a shortcut to the select character controller with customized UI which attached on Maya UI. This script is really useful especially when dealing with a scene containing massive controller in it.
