OpenRig is an open-source rigging library for Autodesk Maya. It provides a comprehensive suite of tools and Python modules to streamline the character rigging pipeline, automate repetitive tasks, and create robust, scalable systems.
This project is under development.
We have full-time jobs and this is a side project; all development, solutions, and updates will be addressed in our spare time.
- Modular: A fully flexible system capable of rigging any creature, prop, or element imaginable from bipeds to complex mechanical assets.
- Flexible: Solutions can be used standalone or composed freely.
- Scalable: Designed to work in production pipelines of any size.
- Nodal-base: Simple nodal working system
