Really ingenious setup. Amazing that Nick offers this for free. My animator is using the rig now and as soon as we make some cash Nick deserves a really decent fee. In the meantime, 5 stars and huge thanks!

Really nice rigging system! It's simple to use and to set up, and it has pretty much everything you may need for a cartoony or realistic biped character. What I really like is that it provides also a very good facial and eye set up, which no other auto rigger I have seen does.
The spine set up right now is the only thing that could use a few more controllers, but I reported this to Nick and he may be updating that soon. Otherwise, it's filled with amazing features like facial joints, eyelids following the eye, rubber hose limbs, stretchy spine, fully scalable rig and many more.
Great job Nick!!
Users of older Maya versions (like 2008) will have to change the following lines to make this script work:
Line 1275
skinCluster -n splineSkin01 -sm 0 M_enj_lowSpine01 M_enj_uppSpine01 M_crv_spine01;
to
skinCluster -n splineSkin01 M_enj_lowSpine01 M_enj_uppSpine01 M_crv_spine01;
Line 3064
skinCluster -n charSmoothSkin01 -sm 2 -nw 2 -tsb;
to
skinCluster -n charSmoothSkin01 -nw 2 -tsb;
Aside from that it seems to work great. This might become my standard tool for quite a while.
WOWZER!!! Can't wait for your 2014 update. this script is awesome. I played with it in 2013 and was totally impressed. GREAT WORK.
