Hi Everybody,

i’ll be greatful if anybody can suggest me any video tutorial, blogs or links that could help me.

Thanks,

My best advice to you is to go download some scripts you’re interested in, see what they do in Maya, then open them up and try and figure out how they are written and how they work.  Try and pick scripts that are not too complex.  The best way to learn is to try and do something yourself, start simple, and take ideas from scripts you’ve looked at.  Also, use the Mel command reference and look for commands that may fill the needs of the script you’re working on, look at the examples and flags for various commands.  Doing is the best way to learn, much better than watching a video.

While it isn’t so much tutorials, I do find this site has some useful tips and tricks…

As for tutorials themselves, I have no been able to find any ether. I tend to just pick a project and jump in until I hit a wall (and post asking for help) or figure it out. I’d suggest start small (like building shelf buttons for tasks you do often (such as colouring ctrl’s, or adding basic transform ctrl’s to lots of set/prop objects simultaneously) Then build larger (automate adding an attribute to a crtl and connecting shape visibility to that attribute) and then larger still (creating an interface to run several of those scripts).
