Accelerating the Character Rigging Process in Maya

Throughout these lessons, you will learn how to accelerate the rigging process by using a free MEL script called abAutoRig.mel as well as several code snippets and Python utilities to create a character rig, skin the model, paint weights, and apply corrective blend shapes. Software required: Maya 2015, abAutoRig 6.0.3.

Throughout these lessons, you will learn how to accelerate the rigging process by using a free MEL script called abAutoRig.mel as well as several code snippets and Python utilities to create a character rig, skin the model, paint weights, and apply corrective blend shapes. This course will introduce you to some new thoughts and strategies for completing these tasks quickly and efficiently. We will explore Maya node-centric pose based deformers as drivers for corrective blendshapes. Software required: Maya 2015, abAutoRig 6.0.3.
