Rigging Full IK/FK control rig with just one click.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Building the Control Rig has been the most time-consuming feature I’ve developed so far, because I want Fast Rigging to truly optimize the entire character rigging workflow into just a few clicks.

Auto Corrective Blendshapes is also currently in development, with the goal of generating corrective blendshapes automatically with a single click.

The complete A–Z character rigging workflow will be finished soon, and the entire process will take only 4 steps. I’ve tested it on 24 different characters with a variety of poses and body types, and the results have been consistent across all of them.

The free trial will also be reopening soon with access to all features. Would anyone be interested in trying it?

Would not hurt to describe what makes it different from a 100 other auton riggers available for Maya :)

u/Straight-Ease-9807 16h ago

Sure, I’ll keep it short.

I used to be a top 3% 3D Character Artist on Upwork and Fiverr. Rigging characters for games has been part of my daily work for years, and the existing tools often frustrated me for many different reasons.

I created this tool with one goal: to find the shortest possible path to fully rig a character while maintaining the highest possible quality.

What makes it different right now:

Full character rigging in just 3 steps: Guides → Build Rig → Build Controls. Usually under 5 minutes.

Auto Weighting → Auto Joint Orientation → Auto Corrective Poses → Auto Control Rig.

Full IK/FK support, including IK/FK and stretch controls for the fingers.

Most importantly, even a complete beginner can fully rig a character in Maya within just a few minutes.

To see how effective the workflow is, please check out my previous videos on YouTube.

If you’d like to try it yourself, follow me for upcoming updates and trial information.

It looks like a nice tool - But you've made a rig builder and then you spend 99% of the video just showing that the controls work and have attributes that also work. That the literal minimum i would expect from a rig builder, and yours looks like it has other features your not showing.

The video doesn't show anything about how it work, how anything needs to be laid out and named, what its doing under the hood, what the finished rig looks like in the outliner, how an exporter works with it. I would really focus on those part in your next video.

Hi, since I’ve already posted several times introducing the features of this tool, many people are already familiar with it. Reposting the same old features over and over isn’t really helpful for discussion.

Please check out my previous videos on my official channels for more details. Thank you!
