This looks cool ! How do I build a rig like this for any cartoon character I model? Can you point me towards any tutorial for making a rig like this?
Hi, sir I want to learn this type of animation software.. can u teach me
Hey there – I am not able to move the rig using the root control. Do you know why? I have no animation I am setting the project and wanted to start animating and I am not able to translate it. I tried to see if it is because it's a ".ma" file and saved the file without any animation in the ".mb" extension and that did not change anything. I even optimized the file and that did not work! please help 🙂 Thanks!
I know this is an older rig and may not work right in Maya LT, but I have downloaded him and it looks like his root is not connected to the rig anymore. All of the other controls work. When I move the root control, it moves, but he doesn't…. how can I fix this, if i can?
Damn, I wish I can get this rig in Blender or I wish I have Maya
I get immediate errors importing this rig into Maya 2020. As well the main circle ring does NOT work. You guys should seriously fix this if you are going to advertise this free rig all over the internet for your classes. It doesn't come off very professional.
Can I join if I am 14yrs old.
Hi, thanks for the free tutorial. I'm having some issues with the character rig. It seems that the sqr_root_ctrl controller is broken. The character won't move. It look like that controller is unparented somehow… What can I do? I try fresh version I download it couple of times and issues stay the same. Thanks in advance.
Hello Animation Mentor. Bottom ring controller doesn't work in Maya 2019. How to fix this?
Hei I love this rig
Too bad I can't use it in my assignments for animation school….
For some reason in the 2019 version of Maya the ring at the bottom doesn't seem to work?
coll
how do you bring up that show panel?
hello sir, my school is doing this project and we were asked to find a mentor to help us with it.I would like to know if you're interested to help me.If you are, please contact my gmail henryvanni@gmail.com

What 3D animation software did you use
thanks so much for this
Hi, this is an awseome character ! I have just started out learning about animation and I have to say this is the perfect character for beginner's, It would be amazing if you could show us how you rigged this character, I am kind of working on a small 3D animated movie and I would love to create a sort of cute cartoony cat character with the same awseome rig !
How do you change the model settings to high on the squirrel ?
