I have a fairly simple Max script (simple as far as I know). Several folks have requested Maya Mel versions of this scripts. I can’t do it and nobody that has requested knows how to do it.
What is the ettiquette for asking somebody here to do MS > Mel conversion? Is it frowned upon or casually okay? Cross-posting? I really don’t know how well this flies around here or the proper way of asking.
If it’s a freeware script and it’s for the community I don’t think any request is being frowned upon. I sure hope in 2009 the “my software is better then yours” wars are somewhat over, so for me it’s a very valid and okay thing to ask here.
Unfortunately, I don’t know mel Maybe someone else can jump the gun, or maybe you should just post in the mel forums and ask a mxs>mel convert to help you out.
My 2 cents,

I dont know why you think this will be frowned upon ! Many of us work on both Maxscript and Mel, and it should be fun to do this … I could take it up if you wish … point me to the MS.
btw, as JHN mentioned, is it freeware ?
I guess I’ll give a shot right here.
Yes, it is free. Just a simple script to export mapping channel data.
If you want to peep some MCH files, check the Reposityr.
From there, I use my own Photoshop filter to bring mapping goodness into PS CS2: Multi Chan Hax
I use this all the time. And a few folks have expressed interest in a Maya Mel version of the exporter. I don’t have access to Maya, so here I am.
Effort put into this greatly appreciated.
