Hello Sarkamari Thanks for this speal lectures they are great!!! I would like please that you add an extra video, explaining how to do squash and stretch in Maya Rig Face. I cant find anithing online to learn this, thanks for your help! Let me know if you can do it. Happy Holidays!!!!

[@sarkamari]

Hi; That system requires slightly more than what we offer as our first step in rigging. That hopefully will be covered in the future. Thank you again fir your kind words 🙏

Thank you for this tutorial!!! I don't know why but the eyelids from my character don't close the eye when I rotate the x axis even if I flip 180° the bones of the lower eyelid :(

[@STGKeVSTG]

I have the same problem. Do you have solved it?

[@STGKeVSTG]

Okay I have solved it. I had to change the axis orientation from world to object.

[@syafiqahnajihahkamaruleffe8723]

@@STGKeVSTGhi, can i know how did you do for this?

[@syafiqahnajihahkamaruleffe8723]

I already change the axis orientation, but still same

[@STGKeVSTG]

@@syafiqahnajihahkamaruleffe8723 Hey I have opened the Tool Setting and changed the Axis Orientation in the Move Settings from World to Object and then it worked for me. I hope this will help you

[@ileavolkomurov]

Thank you

[@TheWallyWallrusShow]

Thanks for the tutorial they are awesome. I have a problem with morroring behaviour for the aye lid bones... it just don't mirror... I've tried everything I known. Is there any solution for that? .

[@sarkamari]

Based on your model your result may vary. In studios there are proprietary plugins to fix glitches like this. Sadly for home users the safest bet is to repaint the other side manually. I have mentioned in the video that I do run into this issue from time to time.

Which version is best in maya for rigging

[@sarkamari]

I have been using 2025 and I yet to find a bug. I was very happy with 2022. Haven’t tested 2023 and 2024 was very buggy

[@yashsharmajii]

thanks a lotttt

[@nodanat5768]

Waiting for part2

[@MsGoldenshades]

why dont you rename your joint using the rename option and save yourself time?

[@sarkamari]

Maya did have this tool when I got into rigging so renaming everything manually and using a particular naming convention is an old habit. You certainly have a point thpugh

[@MsGoldenshades]

@@sarkamari oh no i was just wondering. thought maybe you didnt know they have ea tool for that

[@MsGoldenshades]

​@@sarkamari my instructor used u as a go to for our class in rigging if we needed any help btw :P
