Ultra-Fast Studio Character Animation Via MEL

This is a MEL program that automatically animates Biped, Quadraped, Bird, Centaur, and a Spider without using IK or any of that other crap that takes forever to set up . . . In this case, all you do is click a button on the shelf, choosing a biped or quadraped, and it creates the skeleton for the character AND when you press the play button the character walks or runs. The quadraped also hops or gallops. It is all done via MEL, so it does not require any fooling with IK, and it has "Stabilization" (it adds bones that allow the character to move freely without major distortions in the character skin), which minimizes having to paint skin weights. http://www.highend3d.com/maya/downloads/mel_scripts/character/Walkerman-Version-4514.html
