RT @yantor3d: @chowgood They’re looking for someone to rig their riggers. Rigception. It’s rigs all the way down. Wait, this isn’t a rig, it’s actually a cake. http://twitter.com/NielsRoscher/status/1286874678527754242
The amount of detail that Naughty Dog put into The Last of Us 2 is staggering. A whole breathing system that is partly driven by animation but also drives animation. With simulated heart-rate level and everything.
Incredible effort! https://t.co/leUX2vk2Lg http://twitter.com/NielsRoscher/status/1284880195586076672
This Maya node network is quite handy for creating a lip-zip setup.
And it’s great to have all the explanations how @mischakolbe got there.

RT @yantor3d: A junior rigger: “Is there a command to re-order attributes in the Maya channel box?”
A senior rigger: _expression goes blank, staring off into the distance, jaw clenched to suppress a guttural scream_ “Not. Yet.”

Now that is some high-quality deformation work. Well done! https://t.co/eWQsg00alU http://twitter.com/NielsRoscher/status/1280894021171400706
RT @yantor3d: Life hack: randomize the path to your project folder every day so that any tool using hard coded paths breaks.

RT @MattZanimation: For those interested my approach to the bezier tentacle posted yesterday. Two bezier curves lofted together. Keep the history. Make control joints matching the bezier handles and skin to the curves. Make follicles on the surface and use it like a ribbon. #rigtip #rigging #maya https://t.co/JwSe40KoDC http://twitter.com/NielsRoscher/status/1277881159389675520
RT @charliebanks: @NielsRoscher @Saihtamen `historyPopupFill “node_name” 0 0`
Will give you all the historically interesting nodes related to your specified node.
This combined with cmds.setAttr(node+”.ihi”, 0) lets you be super anal about what’s exposed to animators in the channel box.

Lots of great Maya functionality is buried in MEL. Try:
whatIs currentTimeUnitToFPS
and convert to Python. ?
Other buried functions that come to mind:
getApplicationVersionAsFloat
findRelatedSkinCluster
moveJointsMode 1
Feel free to reply with your own findings.
