Xpresso Maker: Overview

Description
Xpresso Maker is a set of Python scripts for CINEMA 4D R12+ that take some of the pain out of creating complex rigs with Xpresso.

Included Scripts:
UD 2 Xpresso - Input: create a tag & node for the object if necessary (or use the selected node) and add input ports for each userdata element
UD 2 Xpresso - Output: same as above, for output ports
UD 2 Xpresso - Input: same as above, but creates input AND output ports
PoseMorph: create a node for the selected PoseMorph tag, with input ports for the strength of each pose
WirePorts: automatically connect ports with the same name in selected nodes
XpressoMaker

XpressoMaker is a Python script set for CINEMA 4D R12+ that allows you to easily manipulate Xpresso by adding ports for an object's userdata or each target of a PoseMorph, as well as quickly connect ports with the same name.

In addition to the scripts, this series explains the code and provides an practical introduction to Python in CINEMA 4D.
