Batch Constraint Joint to Controls

23 Jun 2024 For manual rigging. Building joints first then have the controls based on the joints.

Assumes that joints and controls are already existing with the corresponding related names.

For example, ear_jnt and ear_con

import pymel.core as pm


obj_sel = pm.ls(sl=True)

for joint_obj in obj_sel:
	joint_name = joint_obj.getName()
	con_name = joint_name.split("_jnt")[0] + "_con"
	con_obj = pm.PyNode(con_name)

	pm.parentConstraint(con_obj, joint_obj, mo=True)
	pm.scaleConstraint(con_obj, joint_obj, mo=True)
