"kmFeatherConstraint" MEL Script {

Here's a little MEL script I wrote a while back. It creates a series of constraints down a chain of items with a falloff. A simple GUI allows for changing of ordering and falloff ease modes ( Linear, Ease-In, Ease-Out, Ease-In-Out ). Eased modes use S-curve interpolation for a nice smooth gradient.

There's a few things I'd like to add to make this better, but I thought I'd throw up version 1 and see if it's useful to anyone.

Here's a video demonstrating its use:
