Note

1. As this tool was designed for my Pipeline assignment studying in NCCA Bournemouth University, the supported nodes are quite few, hope I can add more nodes in future. For now,DIY is encouraged! And I'm very happy to help if certain nodes are needed.
2. MayaBase is a module I wrote in the past, It contains a seperate readme file. Rfm2Rkf was written upon Mayabase.
3. The structure of the tool was referred to ababak's maya2katana, while the main body of code is different. Check out this link if interested: github.com/ababak/maya2katana.
