Here are some Character rigs for Autodesk MAYA for you to use. The steve rig contains basic facial controls.

There is also a skeleton rig below






I should also say that you will need to know how to use Maya if you want to use this rig.

Old post:

Can it work with blender or only Maya?

Only maya.
The reason i made this was because there were no maya rigs out there.

:biggrin.gif:

Hey, I downloaded it, but while previewing it in maya, i dont see a skin, why is that?

Wow. This is just what I've been looking for! Thanks quite a lot.

And as for this:

Looks sweet, but I have no idea what Maya is or how to use it. I was hoping this could be like a stand alone program but oh well.

Maya is a powerful, commercial grade 3D animation program. It is made by Autodesk, and is normally about $3,495.00 (USD)

It is however free for registered students (High School, College, Home Schooled, etc) at the Autodesk Education Community.

If you aren't a student, there might be a way to import this model into Blender which is a free and Open Source, and is quite powerful, considering that it's not commercial.

Sweet! :biggrin.gif: I'll download it as soon as I get Maya.

EDIT: Done.

Awesome Rig!
Can you make a tutorial on how you set this up? Or if you already did can you send me the link? That would be great!

I have made it in Maya and how do I render/view it?

Ok I Decided to update the download link and change a few images + add a few tutorial videos :smile.gif:

Can you keep working on it? maybe adding some blocks (and a donation button, cuz this is FRICKING AWESOME!!!!!!!) Thanks :biggrin.gif:

I just downloaded this and replaced the char.png file with my skin and it didn't work. Would you know why this is?

Quote from Cukor

Did you replace both the file and the file path aswell (from C:/Users/Erik/Desktop/Minecraft Character Rig/Images/char1.png to your current png.)?

yes i did.
I figured out a different way through maya. I just used hypershade and put my skin in.
Thanks for trying to help anyways!

Do you think you can make a video on how to animate the rig in Maya?

Quote from CrazyRedPandaHD

My textures look blurred, even with mental ray on, anyone fix this?

Just post some pictures and that will help clear up the problem when we see whats wrong with it.

Does anyone have any cool minecraft areas I can use?
I know shrogg2 showed how to get the areas into maya but I use a mac and unfortunately .obj files aren't compatible with apple products.
And also when i tried on my sisters PC the text document wouldn't change file type to whatever file shrogg said to turn it into. What do I do?

This Character Rig is for use with autodesk MAYA, It should work with all versions of maya [8 +]
For optiomal rendering, please use mental ray, as it will render without filtering on the textures (And looks 100X better :biggrin.gif:)
