Maya script: Bind skin then hide meshes (Python)

Video: https://youtu.be/NvW10GRNf4A

Sometimes I have to do this task:

- Select joint

- Then select the (prop) mesh

- Bind them together

- Hide this prop mesh (so I know which mesh was done)

- Repeat this process to all other props

- Finally, un-hide all the prop meshes.

(- Then, merge them all together Mesh > Combine with Skin option checked)

So I decide to make a script to automate this task.

It's good to automate everything but finding the closest mesh to the joint is not always the correct case, so I still have manually pick joints and meshes. If you have a better suggestion, please drop a comment or send me a message. Thank you!

Hope this works for you. Contact me if it doesn't.
