Exporting a Rig...

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

I have just finished a semi-complex rig, and I was wondering if someone could give me some tips. I would like to use this rig on multiple characters, but it would save me a huge amount of time if I could just export/import it to another model. Can it be done within the same scene, or should I have the models seperated into their own scenes?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

You can also use layers to keep every new character in its own space and make it visible or invisible whenever you need to work on only one character.
