As always all rig specific questions will be better answered by the creator(s). 😀

Good review. The clothing/skin clipping is bothering me, but you've pointed out a few controls I missed, so thanks for that. I think the hip should be basic and not hidden and confined to shifting the spine to FK, it's used constantly. Speaking of using constantly, the only thing I noticed that you didn't point out is that the hands are locked into child mode to the upper body control, even in IK. In other words, if the hands are in IK and you rotate the top body/chest control, the arms move with it. This was extremely annoying as I needed to counter-animate to compensate for that motion.

Am I the only one who can't find out how to download it? has the drive doc changed??

Hii, recently found your channel, very useful tutorials :)) Have you thought about making a rig review on Grey Matter Gery rig?

[jelonesdispotato]

The "pick" controller looks like it's a parent driver for constraints; this seems like a way to have flexibility when animating things being held by the rig.

[vickmure]

was actually looking for something to practice body mechanics with and boom you helped again, thank you

[artnimating]

Hello. Thanks for the amazing tutorials and knowledge you share always. Please where can I find the controllers for making the character Blink and close his eyes? Looking forward to your feedback. Thanks

[pickwize]

[ilikeit]

[j.gustavoventura]

[emmanuelgaming]

Please how do I load in the texture, Maya 2022

[brunosilva]

I believe if you turn the geometry's smooth preview on that intersection with the clothes disappears. Great review, thanks!

If you set your arm to IK and move the upper body controller, it moves together like FK, but where should you modify it to work properly?

[AlexisRiveraD]

Jean, do you know where to find voice/acting reference for animation?

[derekgutierrez]

do i have to download the google file to get the textures

[Meantime_Creations]

He is like a realistic version of johny bravo.

[shimushinikan]

Can I delete the whole mesh and use the rigs on my own characters?
