Complex UV Layout in Maya
Over the last couple of years UV layout in Maya has changed for the better. In this course we're going to be taking a look at some of those changes as we UV map an entire character

If you're frequently animating, then why not buy it? It looks like a good plugin.

By getting I meant buying. and I did, it's quite amazing complete character rig in 20min, including very decent binding even for a really disproportional fat dinosaur character of mine.
Definitely worth the money if you, like me, cannot be bothered to learn the technicalities of rigging.

Hi farbtopf,
I wasn't aware that something like that existed. If I had the money right now, I'd buy it myself. My thoughts are that you can rig a character in record time. Then tweak it to get it just right. Sounds like a win, win situation to me. My opinion is that quicker is better as long as you can still get the required quality in the end.

I'm sure I'll be buying this one day.

Ive got it and its very very good!

It has good results on most things and even with the problems systems like these will inevitabley have it is more time and resource effective than rigging fro people like me who really dont have time to learn the depths but still want to have a nice flexible rig.
