A total NOOB question

[Shona Gillard]

I have been picking up Python stuff on my own while I've been studying in school. I've not really had much direction, and I don't really have money to throw at classes at the moment. What are some good projects to work on that really get a person comfortable with Python in Maya? I've scripted a few things that I would like automated, and I've been working on an auto-rigger to just get the experience of a tool on a larger scope. I am going to graduate next month, so I would like to have some personal projects to do that could make me stronger in this area! Thanks in advance!

Hey Shona,

To start off why dont you get used to the whole nature of list, arrays, classes dictionaries and syntax of Python if you are already comfortable  with that then dive into maya and get used to the cmds module in maya. may be create for starters a simple renaming script or something. and then move on from there. If you dont know how to script it in python just do it in maya and all commands are displayed in script editor and you can learn from that too.

Other than keep scripting something, there is no other advice I can give you.

Hope this helps.
