tlc.common.miscutils

Miscellaneous utilities.

This module contains generic utilities that may be used in any department/task. This utilities are not specific for any pipeline, they are usable in any Maya scene.

When there is a significant amount of elements related to a specific field, they may be moved to a new module. Though this should be done only in very special cases to avoid breaking backwards compatibility.
