Maya Rigging Wiki

Hi all,

Semester’s coming to an end soon. I’ve uploaded a PDF of quick tips that you might need for your final animation. Please don’t hesitate to ask me questions during class. I am also available two hours before class in the lab if you want me to go over anything.

Also, here is a link to a Reverse Foot setup video tutorial done by an EMAC alum, Noah Schnapp. Because there are many ways to do one thing in Maya, especially with rigging, this setup is different from the one you learned in class. If you already have your leg and IK, skip to about 6:00 in the video. He has a list of “Maya boxMan” videos that go step by step through rigging a humanoid model if you are interested.
