This otherwise truly remarkable rig has a fairly serious shortcoming. The eyes have only FK controls, making it virtually impossible for the character to hold his interest while moving the head. Would it be possible to have IK control, i.e., aim constraints on the eyes? Also, if both eyes were constrained to a single Interest's pivot, the crossEyes attribute would not be necessary with the IK enabled.
This rig is really gorgeous! Nothing compared to the ones we get from our college. I made a little lip sync with this one - thanks a lot for sharing!!

Hi Jason,
Great rig. Very user friendly and nice to animate with.
Love the facial controls, the fact you can change the look of the character and all the body controls are very easy to use. It has been great for lip syncs, walks and sneak cycles.
I am fairly new to Maya as I mostly use 3D studio Max but I found this rig great to learn the animation tools with.
Fantastic work. Thanks for sharing this with us.
hi jason
i am facing problem while opening the file it says
"Errors have occurred while reading this scene that may result in data loss. Please check the Script Editor for details."
how can i open the file ? plz tell me.
i love this rig!!!! the facial controlls for me were some of the easiest to use iv ever used in a free rig! i also like the detail that has been put into the customizable characteristics. i also love how much the 3rd version along in the picture he looks like Ian Mckellen lol
overall nice rig, easy to use. nice one!
I really love the rig! Great work! I only ask one thing, could you put out a female cartoon rig with all the same features having different hairstyles and what not! That would be awesome!
