Making my Harmony scripts available on github

Hey all,

As I’ve been learning Harmony, I’m finding that periodically I want to write some scripts to automate things or make things faster. In order to help others going through the same process, I thought it’d be a good idea to make the tools I’m writing public.

So please feel free to check out my github, where I’m putting all my code.

I hope people find this useful.

Cheers,

Great initiative Jason, brilliant that you making your work available to other users.

I will bookmark it and have a look in your scripts to see what you have available.

Best Regards,

Awesome! Thanks for sharing Jason!

I have a few scripts myself and am hoping to make more:

It’s interesting that we have both been solving some of the same problems ( e.g. “AlignNodes”). I used to think I was an exception in needing a tidy node view, but that tool has helped me get a fair few ‘Thank You’ pints.

The responders list is very useful too. Thanks for including that.

Hi Chris!

Awesome! Thank you for sharing as well! :slight_smile:

Not surprising that we’re both trying to clean up our node views. :slight_smile: I’m a stickler for a clean UI - especially after years of rigging and animating in 3D. I find it extremely important to be able to hand off something easily understandable to animators, and also to be able to come back to a rig months later and not get totally lost.

This appears to be especially important in 2D, considering animators seem to spend a lot of time in the node view. Powerful - but also dangerous in that it’s easy to break things if you don’t know exactly what you’re doing. This makes keeping a clean, tidy, well documented node view extremely important!

Thank you for your getting started with expressions doc, btw - that really helped me out when I was completely lost over how to create expressions! http://www.toon.tools/2018/10/harmony-expressions-getting-started.html

Looking forward to seeing what else you create!

awesome, thanks edgar! any suggestions you have on the code, I’d be happy to make them - or feel free to do a pull request as well! :slight_smile:

cheers!

I’ve updated the github scripts with a new tweening tool that makes it really easy to create breakdowns, antics and overshoots between two keys.
