Wrote a MEL script that can generate low resolution proxies for a given skinned mesh. The proxies are generated based on the skeleton structure and will get you 90% of the way there. Some editing of the proxies’ shape is preferable after that. These low resolution proxies are useful for previz or real-time animation playback in Maya’s viewport.

Houdini FX TD
Double Negative
I am a Technical Director with strong interests in both the tech and artistic side of things. My life evolves round visual effects, photography, software engineering, tools programming and generally anything that looks and sounds cool.
I have done a variety of CG programming previously, including fluid simulations, muscle systems, soft/rigid bodies, raytracing etc. These theoretical and programming knowledge complement the visual works that I do as a TD in the VFX industry.
