There were a number of fixes on my old site relating to the Animator Friendly rigging DVDS.

Javier Solsona was kind enough to compile them into a handy PDF.  Enjoy!

Animator Friendly Rigging Fixes

Listed below are the mel scripts associated with the PDF.

js_getAttachedObjects.mel

jsOrientJointUI.mel

js_setUpMultiConstraint.mel

  • Hi ,

    AFR Fixes says you have to go one section up the download section to find “js_getAttachedObjects”. But I can’t find it on this website. Am I look at the right place ?

    Many thanks,

    Samba

  • Hi there… I have the same question as Samba…

    I’m Almost Done with AFR!! Woohooo! just that last snag. could we please get a link on this site to js_getAttachedObjects…
    -I see the downloads link does not have it…

    oops… I just saw that Samba posted today aswell – you might need more time to reply
    -but i’ll post anyway:)

  • hah! okay, I have created a downloads page now that should have the files there.. if you find anything missing, let me know!

  • Great timing !
    Thanks a lot, Jason !
    Your dvds really opened a new world to me, just go on …

  • Thank you!

    Your dvds have opened a whole new world for me. Still refining my rigging skills.

  • Thanks Ali! I am glad that they are useful for you! Our skills continue to refine as long as we live, so keep going! :)

  • Thanks a lot Jason.
    I love your way of teaching , clear, direct, deep info and interesting …
    really you’r the lord of ring :)

    every time I see the DVD I learn new things ,,, thanks

  • Awesome!!
    I Finished!
    I Finished Animator Friendly Rigging! AAAAAAAALLLLLLLLRRRRIIIGGGHHHHT!!!

    -i only got one (or two) minor tweaks, and then its completely done!

    I’ll post Carmen (the character i did my rigging on) for you as soon as i’m done with those minor tweaks. (or i’ll beg for help with these last few blerrie bugs)
    Either way, expect her up soon!

    Thanks, Jason.
    I learned more from you in these past few months than i did in the past 5 years of using maya.
    Rock on.

    • heya Lens!

      cooooool! Congrats man! I’m glad that this stuff was useful for ya! it makes me very happy. :)

  • hmmm where can i upload it? I dont have a site unfortunately. can i email it?

  • Hi all

    Sorry about the ads! -i can’t help that! but here’s the file.

    http://www.sendspace.com/file/47l7vw

    Ps. the UI is exactly the same UI script Jason gave with AFR.
    The UI does not work if you reference the character unfortunately. (one of those bugs i couldn’t get right)

    enjoy!

  • i don’t know what to say;;
    during every minute of your dvds
    i learned something
    its just a huge pakage of knowledge

    • thanks Rakesh! that means a lot to me! :)

  • Hey there i was just wondering if i can get some feedback on the rig i created… bad feedback is welcome!
    I’m working on a 20 second animation with it now, and i have found some more bugs with it. But ‘d still like to find out what people think…
    thanks!

  • where can i find the fix for the getstretchaxis script?
    i’ve been looking on the site but can’t find it.
    it is listed in the fixes updates.pdf.
    thanks.

    love the dvds!!!

  • hmm.. get stretchaxis.. I’ll look for it. :)

    • @jason
      thanks.
      It’s a fix for the stretchy IK creation when the axis is a negative.

  • Hi Jason, great dvds!!!
    Question regarding the afr shelf… my file does not have the ‘2′ at the end, as mentioned above, but still it doesn’t load correctly. I copied the images from the ’support files’ folder into my icons folder and the shelf is empty. Any ideas of what the issue could be??…thx

  • heya dave!

    thanks for the kind words!

    are you getting any errors in the script editor when you try and load the shelf? are you on windows or mac or linux?

    cheers!

  • Hey Jason, thank you for your amazing dvd’s.
    I have a problem though, I’m looking for the fix for the stretchy IK creation when axis is negative, on my mirrored joints.
    Could it be found somewhere to download?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Don’t worry, I took care of it thanks to the fixes.pdf.
    Thanks a lot again, you really learned to me how to rig.

  • Hi Jason,

    I might have a problem with my js_matchObjUI. It launches fine and I have the option to load an object but all the options/settings below that are missing their options (Match Object Options, Match Iteration Options…). I am running on a Linux. Have you heard of this issue before or have any ideas how to fix it?

    Thanks in advance.
    The rigging tutorials are great.

    -Mike
