To use the script:

• Download the script and save it: C:\Users\yourUserName\Documents\maya\currentMayaVersion\scripts
• Open Maya (or restart Maya).
• In the command line , using Python (not MEL), write: 
  import ReanimatedRigging
  The Reanimated Rigging Tool window will open.
• To open the window again write:
  ReanimatedRigging.UI()

You can easily write these two lines together to create a shelf button. 


*UI looks slightly different on 2011.
