lukpazera / cmdMatchXfrm.py
Created July 2, 2013 11:11
This is python translation of Matt Cox's matchXfrm.cpp C++ command and was done as an exercise while learning MODO python API. Matt's original: https://gist.github.com/mattcox/4742206
#python
""" Match Item Transforms.
Command matches transforms of one item to another.
Select 2 or more items and all items will be matched to last selected one.
I'm not author of this command.

lukpazera / cmdItemAimAt.py
Last active December 19, 2015 17:49
Implements a simple command that replicates what Direction Constraint does. It allows to aim one item at another using third item as an up vector.
#python
""" Aim Item Command.
Command sets one item (source item) rotation so that it
points at another item (target item) with an upvector defined
by third item (up vector item).
Command essentially replicates what Direction Constraint does.
Only it just applies rotation to the source item only at a current frame and action.
