This script bakes the transformation of a node to its offset parent matrix which then acts as its rest matrix. Only works with maya 2020 and up.

import maya.api.OpenMaya as om

    for attribute in ["translate", "rotate", "scale", "jointOrient"]:
        default_value = 1 if attribute == "scale" else 0
        for axis in "XYZ":
            if cmds.attributeQuery(attribute + axis, node=node, exists=True):
                attribute_name = "{}.{}{}".format(node, attribute, axis)

// Error: Line 4.21: Syntax error

It's because you try to launch this script as mel. It's python script

Thanks!

Love you man, that script is an absolute banger, saved me hours of copy past

fantastic! thanks bro
