Python3 fixes to use aTools in newer versions of Maya

aTools for Python3

Newer versions of Maya (starting from Maya 2022) have switched to Python3, which led to incompatibility with older Python scripts. One of the well-known and loved script toolbox is called aTools. However, it is no longer supported in favour of animBot, which, unfortunately, isn't free.

In this little repo I've made a couple of fixes to convert the existing Python scripts to Python3. I also got rid of the motion trail, since newer versions of Maya have it out-of-the-box.

The installation is the same, you just download the aTools_install.mel file and drag-and-drop it to the Viewport. It'll attempt to download the archive and unpack it silently, however, if it'd fail, please proceed with the manual download from the Releases page.

I haven't tested it thoroughly, so some errors and bugs may occur, feel free to contact me.
