Here I will gather scripts that I've written for my own work, and then improved for general usage. Feel free to install and use them. However, I can't be held responsible for any problems that may arise from their use.
Donations
All these tools are free to use in any type of production, as long as I am properly credited. However, if you find any of these tools useful and you would like to show your support to their development, feel free to make a donation through the "Donate" button below. It is an easy and secure donation through paypal, and it will help cover the hosting costs and the time I put into developing the tools and support material.
Bugs/Comments
If you encounter any bugs running these scripts, please email me and give me a list of specific steps to reproduce the bug. I will also gladly accept any ideas for additional features/improvements, but I have limited free time and so can only promise to do my best. I will be very happy to know about any creative uses you might have given to these tools.
