The Mayan script, also known as Mayan glyphs or Mayan hieroglyphs, is the writing system of the Maya civilization of Mesoamerica, currently the only Mesoamerican writing system that has been substantially deciphered. The earliest inscriptions found, which are identifiably Maya, date to the 3rd century BCE in San Bartolo, Guatemala. Maya writing was in continuous use throughout Mesoamerica until the Spanish conquest of the Maya in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Maya writing used logograms complemented by a set of syllabic glyphs, somewhat similar in function to modern Japanese writing. Mayan writing was called "hieroglyphics" or hieroglyphs by early European explorers of the 18th and 19th centuries who did not understand it but found its general appearance reminiscent of Egyptian hieroglyphs, to which the Mayan writing system is not at all related.
Modern Mayan languages are written using the Latin alphabet rather than Maya script.
It is now thought that the codices and other Classic texts were written by scribes, usually members of the Maya priesthood, in a literary form of the Ch’olti’ language (known as Classic Maya). It is possible that the Maya elite spoke this language as a lingua franca over the entire Maya-speaking area, but also that texts were written in other Mayan languages of the Petén and Yucatán, especially Yucatec. There is also some evidence that the script may have been occasionally used to write Mayan languages of the Guatemalan Highlands. However, if other languages were written, they may have been written by Ch’olti’ scribes, and therefore have Ch’olti’ elements.
Link to Maya Documentation: http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/maya2014/en_us/index.html Every time you do anything inside of Maya a script is executed in the background. Maya uses a scripting language of its very own known as MEL script. MEL stands for Maya Embedded Language and is essentially what makes anything you do in Maya work. From creating a basic box to setting an animation frame, MEL script is being executed at every step. We can see the MEL script actually being executed by Maya simply by opening the Script Editor. Inside the Script Editor we can watch the magic of MEL occurring while we operate Maya. Since we can see the MEL script actually being used by Maya when we perform actions, we can also learn from it. If we want to learn what the command is for creating a poly...

CRACKING THE MAYAN CODE | NOVA Science documentary The ancient Maya civilization of Central America left behind an intricate and mysterious hieroglyphic script, carved on monuments, painted on pottery, and drawn in handmade bark-paper books. For centuries, scholars considered it too complex ever to understand—until recently, when an ingenious series of breakthroughs finally cracked the code and unleashed a torrent of new insights into the Mayas' turbulent past. For the first time, NOVA presents the epic inside story of how the decoding was done—traveling to the remote jungles of southern Mexico and Central America to investigate how the code was broken and what Maya writings now reveal. cracking the mayan code - nova (documentary). thanks for watching. history life discovery science ...

The animation import is now simpler and new import and export batching features make integrating customized animation into any pipeline a breeze. Improved Utilities allow for more customization of your rig. --- No Module Error: If you get an error saying there is No Module then the script hasn't been installed c...
This is a script written by Chris DeVito: https://github.com/chrisdevito/OBB It will take any object and create a bounding box (Cube or Lattice) around that object. Very useful for aligning lattices to objects with frozen transformations or getting orientations of objects for rigging. To install, simply download the zip file by clicking "Download ZIP" in the link above. Extract to any folder (maya folder) and drag the setup.mel file from the OBB-master folder into the Maya viewport. This will make a new shelf with BBOX, LATTICE, and DOCS icons. Simply select any object and click either button. Has been tested in Maya 2015 and up and on Windows and Linux.

Maya is my own OC, made specially for The Cursed Script. She has a very dark past, and she carries around her pet dog Hei. Hei is normally seen with the Sun Orb or a party hat on. Maya is almost never seen without him, but she will leave him behind with Cheese and anyone else who stays at the house if she thinks the mission she is going on doesn't require his innocence. She is very overprotective of him, and she even threatens to stay behind if Hei does not come with her. The Cursed Script is a PopitLockit Productions work. The storyline and OCs involved are the only things that belong to me. Most of the images come from Sonic X and the music belongs to its rightful owners. ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Wanna join my Social Media Army? Here's yo...

This video demonstrates the usage of the polyScatter script. As there are already quite some scripts available to help with distributing objects across a surface, this script focuses on placing the objects without any unnecessary cluttering or resulting in unwanted holes. This is very helpful to spread objects evenly across a surface but still with enough randomization to prevent visual patterns.

The ancient Maya civilization of Central America left behind a riddle: an intricate and mysterious hieroglyphic script carved on stone monuments and painted on pottery and bark books. Because the invading Spanish suppressed nearly all knowledge of how the script worked, unlocking its meaning posed one of archaeology's fiercest challenges. Until now. The european invasion almost wipped out not only the Mayan people, but also all the historical records and tablets from the ancient Mayan people. What little records that are left are slowley being decipered, and help from the Mexican governement, with the release of "secret Mayan records" is helping. How did the Mayans have knowledge of the stars, far beyond what was even possible just 100 years ago? This one-hour program is divided into five ...
