Version Up and Bake Suffix

Every session we save, save as. I wanted to reduce the time doing this task and have a couple of buttons. The first part is versions up the current scene file, and adds the v001, v002, etc. The second adds a suffix of _BAKE to the file. I use this when Iā€™m ready to send my animation to Unreal. I create a secondary file as the bake-to-FBX process is destructive.

Both scripts live as buttons on my custom Maya shelf and have probably become the most used tools I have in my home brew pipeline.
