Sliding Pivot Foot Roll Tutorial

In this tutorial I show how you can create a sliding pivot foot roll using nodes. The first part of the rig is the same as Chris Lesage's rig but instead of an expression i used nodes. And I only add some stuff on top of that to make it work for any shape.
Make sure to visit Chris's site and check out his awesome reel.

Pymel Bone Split Tutorial part 01

In this tutorial I will show you how to write a script that can evenly split a bone and add new joints. This is especially useful when you need to add twist joints on an existing bone. It will automatically rename the new joints and keep the original bones orientation.
My terminology might be wrong in some places so sorry for that.

Some experience with Pymel and Maya scripting is required.

If you have any questions please leave them in the comments.
