IKFK Blending w/ Python in Maya

In this lesson, we will learn how Python can be used to quickly create blendable IK/FK rigs in Maya, saving hours of setup time :) Annnd, here's a link to the Python tutorial for segmenting joint chains: https://vimeo.com/430055602 Level: Beginner to Intermediate

#Instructions: Select Root Joint(s) and run script...
#[NOTE: joint chain should have "_skin" suffix]
