Managing controller objects

[XminusOne]

There's control object scripts all over. The one I like to use can be found at www.rigging101.com (http://www.rigging101.com) and it's called 101rigWirecontrollers;. Hope that is what you're looking for, didn't quite understand the question.

I don't know if i get you right, but you can use scripts fom highend3d like this here:

If you have spezial controllers made by yourself, just execute them and drag the commands out of the script editor to your shelf.

You can import the controller objects into your working scene.

Thanks for all the replies. I think 'import' is the way I would like to go but my documentation does not list an import command. What is the mel I need to bring an object in?



If the path to the source scene is:



C:\Documents and Settings\Ron Viers\Ron's Documents\maya\projects\controllers\scenes



In a scene called:



controllers.mp



An object called:



x_crv



And the destination scene path is:



C:\Documents and Settings\Ron Viers\Ron's Documents\maya\projects\creature1\scenes

BTW, I'm using PLE 8.5.

File > Import...

You'd import the whole scene. So either you import it all, then delete the controls you don't want, or make new scenes each containing a different control.

The mel command would be:

file -i "C:/Documents and Settings/Ron Viers/Ron's Documents/maya/projects/controllers/scenes";

Great! I looked at the file category but overlooked the file command and I was not having any luck with google. Thanks:)

Thanks to everyone else for their valuable suggestions.
