It's a dream come true now that I'm switching to Maya. Frozen was the reason I got into the industry. Loved It!!!

Nice to see that someone has put so much into setting up Studio Library presets for the face. That makes it so fast to get going, and it is also good to learn what works for others

[jeandenishaas]

Make sure to check out the installation folder for the sim tutorial! Neat!

[Aaron_miraz]

OMG I need it so bad 🤣. I liked Frozen and Frozen II, the animation was as good as always and the visual are stunning.

I recently bought the rig to create a demo reel piece with it. I was a bit sketched out that they started charging for it. Can confirm that it still works perfectly and looks good as ever with the textures applied.

Just getting to animate something on this rig. Thank you for the review! Great tip on the "wide hip" adjustment. I'm fighting with that a bit currently. I am also getting the same Pose Library errors you were getting. Some times it works. Some times it doesn't. Overall a very fun rig thus far!

[whatalsaid]

I really hope a Rapunzel 3D rig follows soon. She's my favorite Disney character and it would be pretty fun to animate her.

[PsPuNkS]

Does anyone know why when I render her out in arnold her eyelashes are just the geo instead of the actual png texture?

[KZanim]

Nice one! Singing at the end made me laugh out loud.
Studio Library gives an error when you don't have a Controller of the rig selected. Usually because it's looking for the namespace of the rig in your scene (when "from selection"). Sometimes you get an error when you select "from file" but the namespace of the rig is different in your scene. :)

Thank you so much!! I'm in a college class for Maya, desperate to finish an assignment, and I couldn't get the fabric of the dress to work. I only found the provided instruction video because you mentioned it! And it seems to be working so far... Wish me luck!

Awesome rig and even awesome review as always

keep up the awesome work

[PANbatman]

If I remember correctly models from kingdom hearts 3 are a game optimized versions of the models that were actually used in the films

[disneyespanol]

Hello, I don't know if I write well because I am Spanish and I am writing through the google translator but ... what program do you use to encourage Elsa, I would love you to answer me

[Nephem]

Nice review ! Little add tips for studio libraire, dont forget to put your key before add a face. He dont save key at default !

[Aaron_miraz]

6:55 General Kenobi! and 7:07 You're a bold one.

[trialupload]

Sir do you have tut for anim Layers, i love your teaching skills

[zigfaust]

I don't even care about the model.
Reverse engineering the rig setup, however, will be something I look forward too when we get to those classes. It's legit setup how I imagined I'd want my average rig to be.

[bikotheanimator]

Wow. Cool. I may practice with this one.

[leosanchez]

Hi! I´m new using Maya, could you tell me what key are you pressing at 7:10 to do that movements with the mouse?

[SP_ROGAND]

Hi! I just bought this model for a facial animation practice, but every time that I move any of the face controllers, Maya get crash with a Fatal error and I don't know why. This only happen with this model and file. could you help me to fix it? (I'm using Maya 2022)
