Nick I hope you see this ( soon ). Been using your FREE scripts for quite some time now and I have to say they are truly amazing and help me a lot in my workflow. I was wondering do you still support them and how long you plan on doing that ( Regarding the future Maya versions ). Reason why I am asking that is because I use Maya 2016 ver. with all SP's and I sometimes get this really weird problem with all your scripts ( I reckon it's Maya's fault somehow ). What happens is Maya accepts scripts, reads them out and allows me to work with them at the initial install and then for no apparent reason after few weeks decides that they DO NOT EXIST. Result is error : # Error: ImportError: file <maya console> line 1: No module named jointToolUI .Python interpreter is obviously confused but why ? I have my UltimateSuite installed on D disk, so what's the correct path for scripts ? Since you know how your script looks I will not paste it here and I am posting only the problem/error that was given. Now, I don't really understand why this error occurs in the first place when it clearly worked fine day before. This happened recently and only thing I think could be a potential reason for this is that I installed another plugin for skinning called NGSkin tool but I highly doubt it :( Is there a way to check if interpreter is looking in the wrong place for the scripts and if so how can i get it to work ( it's obviously problem with that ) ?? Thank you for any help regarding this and THANK YOU soo much for putting out such an awesome scripts for all of us ! All best man ! ! !
Hey there,
Unfortunately, I no longer support this script. This was actually my first python script many years ago. I have since become a more competent coder and plan to release new and improved rigging tools in the future.
The good news is that the error you're getting has nothing to do with this script. If this worked in 2016 before, it should work again. I have NG tools, so that's probably not an issue.
You can try a couple of things:
1) Try sourcing the scripts directly by going to the file drop down in your script editor.
2) Double check your script path. Make sure everything lives in the proper folder. Everyone's is a little different.
3) You could also try to insert a path so that Maya reads from there:
import sys
sys.path.insert(0,'C:\Users\Username\Desktop\Documents\maya\2015-x64\scripts')
Anyway, hope this helps. Best of luck. Cheers!

Thank you very much for your advice, I'll definitely give it a go tomorrow, hope some of these steps solve my problem :)
I've noticed that your official site ( accessed through vimeo page ) is offline, so I was wondering is there a way to subscribe and follow your work and where, and of course I was wondering about the '' new and improved '' rigging tools you mentioned now, will they be commercially available and when is the '' planned '' release if you have any date so far :)
once again, thank you so much for your work and for all the help you provide us all with your awesome tools :)
All best man !

Yeah, I stopped updating my website but will continue to update my Vimeo page. Any new tool I write will end up there first. However, I do not have a planned release date for new tools. Work and everything else keeps me pretty busy, but I really do want to release some cool stuff once it's ready!
Best,
Nick
