[...] Animator Friendly Rigging – Part 1 [...]
Hi,
I purchased the full package but didn’t download it eight away.
Now every time I click on one of the e-mailed links I get “AFR_xxx.zip (Not Available)”
I really liked these tutorials, but did I miss some kind of notice about download urls oly being active in a set period?
Thanks, and great job on Megamind! =)
Heya Martin!
thanks so much for ordering! Fastspring leaves the links up for only 14 days. I’ve created new links for you and re-sent them to you so you can continue downloading!
enjoy!!

Bought AFR_01 as part of the bundle. The AFR_01/prefs folder only has an osx folder inside. According to the readme, there should be a pc folder as well.
Thanks,
Roger
Thanks Roger! since you bought the bundle you can definitely get to everything else from the later items in the series.. I’ll double-check as to why the prefs folder only had osx items in it. Did anyone else get the same thing?

What level would you say you would need to be to do this?
part 1 would definitely be a beginner level.. but even for those who are quite advanced, it’s still a good place to start.
Just a quick testimonial, I got this entire set back when Autodesk was still selling it (back in 2008), and I still think it’s the definitive work on rigging for animation. Best money I’ve spent on rigging training to date (and I’m working on my Master’s in rigging right now)
Wow! Thanks Joe!
Hi Jason,
I am trying to install the whole mel scripts for AFR again in my new Mac. However, i just cant get it to work. When i load th shelf, it won’t show any mel scripts. Also i know you had a page about installing the mel scripts and FAQ, where can i find this page?
thanks for the great tutorial with scripts
Heya!
what exactly is going on when you try and load the scripts? if you just source one of them in maya, will it work? are just the icons not showing up?
cheers!

oh!!.. never mind..i guess i have to go to the “community” and figure them out in the forum.
thanks
Hi Jason! I am having the same problem as Martin above. All my links are “not available” anymore. Sorry for the inconvenience but is there a way that you can send me new links so i can go ahead and download everything now? Thank you!
Sure thing! Just email me your order number and I can resend you the links
I picked these up a few years ago through autodesk. Loved it! Now is there anything new to these or updated in the past few years that I would need. I do see there are docs now.
Thanks dale!
Nothing new since then.. but you should have had the docs the whole time. Did you not get them when you ordered them from autodesk?
Ah OK I found them. I was looking in the folder called “docs”, when they were really in the “support files” folder. Haven’t really needed the docs, but nice to know I have them. Thank you again.
