Hi every one,

I just finish the first version of an auto rig for Autodesk Maya. This tool has been created, as an experiment for improve my scripting capabilities inside of Maya. I used Python and QT for the development.

It is the first version of this tool that I will continue developing and improving it in later versions.

DC_AR is an auto biped rigging script, that helps to create in few steps, a complete biped rig.

Features:

  • Ik / Fk  limbs
  • Symmetry  rotations
  • Spine Ik/Fk, stretch and squash
  • Fingers Ik&Fk
  • Neck follow the chest option
  • Head follow the neck option
  • GL controls  ( always displayed on top)

Next features:

  • Add bank roll for the feet
  • Match Ik / Fk
  • Ik Stretch and squash limbs
  • Give support for multiple characters
