Unfortunately you'll need to log into the T4M forums to download the suite (it's a collection of programs and scripts about 3MB). I don't have an IM account but you can e-mail at raxajack@hotmail.com and I will send it to you. There's MEL scripts for Maya versions 5-7 although you can modify it for version 8 by changing the version number using a hex editor (so I've read; I've never tried it). What is a graphical confirmation code?
Yeah, I've heard about the Greenbriar plugin. The reasons I didn't go for it include:
it's $125 and T4M is free (although there appears to be very little activity on the site);
the CR2 loader can't load all the morphs at the same time while T4M easily does. The mesh and the morphs are separate files;
the animation loader is alot like Reiss Body Studio where a PZ3 file is hosted and cannot be modified in Maya. I created my own rigs which are partially automated with MEL scrpits;
as of version 1, joints need to be edited on the smooth skin. For $125, I really don't want to edit smooth skins. Doing it manually takes more time but insures the joints, their orientation and the smooth skin are exactly what I want.
