About the Rig¶

Shenya is rigged with mGear, more about mGear on this page

Please be aware that it is however not a game friendly rig, it is using some “gimmick joints” and the elbow and knees got double joints for slightly more realistic deformations. It can still be brought into game engines I think it will probably needs some extra works to set it up correctly.

This file contain the mgear guide, it is needed if you need to rebuild the rig using mgear (for any reason like adjusting the joint positions, or modifying the mgear component to adjust the functionality, etc)

🗋 cloth-setup.ma¶

This file contains the setup for ncloth meshes. It is used with “Shenya Rig.ma” to create “Shenya Rig (Cloth Setup).ma”. The result file “Shenya Rig (Cloth Setup).ma” is used for simulating cloth in the stairs scene “Pose - Sitting on Stairs.ma”.

I use a script that you can find under “MayascriptsShenya Setup nCloth.py” to create the “Shenya Rig (Cloth Setup).ma”.

If you modified “Shenya Rig.ma”, you can use that script to regenerate “Shenya Rig (Cloth Setup).ma”.
