GreenAlien mGear 5 Maya Rig

Green Alien – mGear 5 Maya Rig

Hi everyone! I’m sharing 4-armed Green Alien Rig for free. Whether you want to practice body mechanics, creature animation, this rig is built to handle it all smoothly!

Features:

• Software Compatibility: Autodesk Maya (Optimized for standard animation workflows).
• Unique Anatomy: Full custom rig tailored for a 4-armed creature layout with clean deformations.
• Integrated AnimPicker Support: Comes with a dedicated, custom-designed visual animation picker (.pkr included)! Features color-coded selections, a cute custom avatar, and an intuitive layout designed to make selecting multi-limb controls lightning-fast for animators.
• Facial Setup: Includes basic controls for the jaw, teeth, and lips. Perfect for practicing core mouth shapes, simple dialogue, and jaw mechanics rather than advanced, full-production lip-sync.
• Clean Outliner & Hierarchy: Highly optimized and animator-friendly control setup.

REQUIRED PLUGIN

This character is rigged with mGear 5 To use the rig controls, IK/FK switches, and the AnimPicker, you MUST have the mGear plugin installed in Maya.

The rigs have been created and tested in Maya 2024 and require the latest version of mGear 5.
