Hey all,
This is my first script that is actually useful. If you have ever tried to rig fingers then you all know how much a pain it is and repetitve. I took all that away with a simple easy to use script that could be modified for any number of fingers.

THIS IS A ROUGH DRAFT AND DOES NOT HAVE ALL THE CODE.

There are three files:
1. The max file with a finger and a spline to put the custom attribute in.

2. A script called PEN_ATTRIBUTE_HOLDER 2. Place this in your 3dsmax/scripts/startup folder.

3. The HandRiggerWizard script.

Open the max file and run the HandRiggerWizard script. Follow the instructions. That simple.

Love to hear any feedback. My scripting skills are very limited and I'm still learning so if you want features, it will not be fast.

Hope you find this useful. I'll post a final version when I'm done with it.

Here is an Update for the Hand Rigger

Same as above but with some changes.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE PEN_Attribute_holder 2 in the 3dsmax/scripts/startup folder.

Open the Max file, run HandRiggerRThand.ms. Follow instructions.

Still have problems with the thumb rotation. If anybody has some solutions to this I would be grateful.

The hand is a very low poly and the deformations on the thumb are bad so I apologize for that.

This is for a right handed character. I realized that I'll have to have two buttons for wiring the left and right.

LOVE SOME CRITS,PLEASE! Very new to the scripting and any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks
