Dhruv Govil Helps you Master MEL for Maya

By January 31, 2017No Comments

Want to get into MEL a bit more? Dhruv Govil is a lead Pipeline Developer at Sony Pictures Imageworks. He has worked on feature films such as Guardians of The Galaxy and Suicide Squad, as well as Animated Features like Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs 2 and Hotel Transylvania 2. Dhruv recently made a course to get new users going with scripting in Maya.

You might remember a while back, Dhruv published a course that took aim at teaching people to use Python, in an artist friendly package. You can find that course by visiting the page for Python for Maya: Artist Friendly Programming to learn more.

As a companion to working with Python, Dhruv has also published a free course that will help you master MEL, Maya’s Embedded Language. Python is likely the tool of choice, bur MEL can still be useful for some people. The multi-part course will get you started with writing your own scripts to help out with your work in Maya.
