#RiggingInMaya

[@topraktunca1829]

Still the best free tutorial available on rigging in maya. The fact that this is free is just god sent and makes me so grateful other people would charge a lot of money for this type of tutorials

[@heraclea2676]

I feel the same, super grateful for the detailed explanations, it's great, thank you so much @antCGI

thanks a lot!

It's epic! Thanks for that!

[@vincentdesun]

Thank you for this amazing tutorial! I just finished part 1 and realize this is not a 3 part, or 4 part tutorial, but a 15 part all-on-one tutorial all uploaded, completely for free. The production value of this tutorial is just awesome. You could've easily charge $50 dollar from each viewer and get hundreds of purchases. I just want to say thank you for making this free.

[@antCGi]

You are welcome! So happy its useful.

[@Rajuuken]

Thank you so much for your tutorial, this is exactly the kind of explanations I wanted to hear. I have a trick for you though, if you want to change the "rotate order" without using a script, just go in the ''attribute spread sheet'' while selecting the bones and write "order" (for example) in the search bar. If you go in the "all" tab, you should see the bones and the rotate order. you can select all at once and write "1" in the boxes! And of course it also works with "Segment scale component" and so on. I hope this will help you !

[@antCGi]

Thanks and thanks for the tip!

I was seeking for professional tutorial about maya rigging and I really really appreciate I can see these tutorials for free. thank you so much! you are life saver

[@agnesingeraxelsdottir6342]

This tutorial is the best rigging tutorial I can find online. I am working on my Final group project and I was needed to make a complicated robot rig in Maya. I have basic rigging knowledge but it is scattered across multiple small tutorials and I'm always scared I might be forgetting something important in-between, but this tutorial helps me go down the correct pipeline and reminds me of the little yet important things I might forget along the way. 10/10

This is by far the most well explained, detailed and structured course that you will find on the "Rigging/Skinning in Maya" topic. This is even better than a tutorial, this is a full course (with the bonus of problems fixing, which I tend to believe are really instructive). The author takes time to go through each steps of the process, the narrative is very well prononce (which make it easy for non native English speaker), and the audio is very well recorded. What do you want more, my dear 4 haters (at the moment)? What a good job you have done there! Respect and thanks a lot for this! Amazing!

[@antCGi]

Thanks for taking the time to write such an amazing comment! I’m so glad you like the tutorials and find them useful.

Just for general Information: At least in Maya 2020 you can use the "Attribute Spread Sheet" under "Windows/General Editors" to change all attributes of current selection at once. Pretty powerful tool.

[@JuliaZaitse]

Thank you for this tutor! But I can't understand how you rotate Local Axes (33:20 min). I choose the same options and can't grab Axes! They aren't clickable. Joints are blue the same as your joints at the video, but I can't click on axes to rotate them((

[@liuzzivfx9413]

code from 41:00 : import maya.cmds as cmds jointList = cmds.ls(type="joint") for joint in jointList: cmds.setAttr(joint + ".rotateOrder", 1)

[@phanpham7149]

Thanks

[@MrSmytch]

Very informative and well-structured video! Thank you, very much! Probably most production-based info-packed video i've seen out there not only about handling things in maya, but on rigging overall. I feel like Im so gonna enojoy this series :)

[@philll.1358]

At 35:38 you said you didn't know how to fix the error in the rotation attribute without using a code, I did a random test, I tried freezing transforms but that failed, but if you un-parent the rotated joint/joints and then plug in 0 into the rotation attribute and then re-parent that joint it looks to me that the problem is fixed without needing code. Please test this out before actually using it, but this could be a possible fix for anyone that needs it!

[@antCGi]

Amazing thanks, I will give it a try!

[@robinnegi2671]

[@giorgikoridze8608]

I have a question now. When mirroring using behavior, and the Y axis is not facing the bone, but the opposite side, will it not mess up in for example Unreal Engine? or as long as Y axis represents bone direction it doesn’t matter if it’s facing front or back of the bone?

[@jenniferbristow439]

Hey, thanks for such a great tutorial! Just out of interest I was wondering why a lot of your clients that are using Unreal request for the Y axis down the bone? Is it the same for Unity too?

[@Nicolas-of6li]

Fixed it - I had to press ctrl+enter, not just enter. Now the local rotate axis do align... Coming back to this part, I have a problem running the joint -e -zso script after editing the local rotation axes on my thumb joints. Nothing happens after I hit enter. I made sure i'm in select by object type, type in the script, select one joint or more, highlight the script and hit enter. Rotate axis remains the same visually and in the attribute editor. I think the only difference from what's in your video is that ''joint'' is highlighted in blue in mel. I'm using maya 2018;

Hi there. I'm following your tutorial and everything is crystal clear. Somehow I'm messing the part with Manually Edit Joint Orientation. From selecting the joints, going to component mode, and choosing the local rotation axis, everything works fine. Then after selecting an individual local axis and switching to the rotation tool, I can't rotate it and change rot manually. I probably missing something. Can someone guess what? Thanks in advance.

[@skalape]

Hello antCGi, thank you for complex explanation. I would like to ask why are you using Y primary axes for Unreal engine (22:30)? This orientation is for exporting skeleton, or skeleton for rig? Is it better for working with mocaps? When I export skeleton from UE, it has different orientation order (X primary, Z up, Y back). I just purchase your Rigging in Maya Biped pack and I am searching answer on to how to make right joint orientation setup for custom UE rig and later for retargeting and editing mocaps.

[@purmanis]

It was weird for me too. I know that blender have Y primary axis but i have never heard that working with UE needs Y for primary axis. I allways export for UE Z-up, X-primary axis and -Y -forward.

[@barrickfischer]

@antCGI I have a question. Since you said the sample arm joints you have (clavicle to digits) is, for example, a client's rigged model, may I know why the fingers 'curl'? And do you have tutorial for how to curl the fingers?

[@wilhelm992]

This is amazing! How often will you be uploading videos of rigging?

[@antCGi]

I'll be doing them as often as I can, hopefully once a week if I can fit them in between my client work :D
