Aligning Off Axis Joints: Maya Script (Elbows etc)
This super handy Coplanar Joint Orient Script by Ilya Seletsky ( http://www.creativecrash.com/maya/scr... ) allows us to orient joints along a single 2d plane, great for elbows knees and fingers that are off axis, like the A pose. Very handy so I thought I'd demo since the name doesn't sound very interesting! *no audio, this is for those who already know about the "Joint Orient Tool" in Maya so look that up if you're a beginner.
Couple of little bugs that could be improved, my workaround in this video was to close the window and re open as you'll see.
Also thanks to Brad Clark who wrote this article and the guys at rigging dojo which inspired this script...
