Here are a couple for Maya:

Here is one for Max:

From what I understand, XSI has some built in. Hope it helps.

Thanks, LP. You're right about XSI. It's actually a very good rigging tool- probably the best out there, imho. I just thought there still might be third party ones for Soft'. I'm going to check out these links for max and Maya now...

there's also "autorigger", to be found on highend3d i think.

but i still have a faint feeling there's at least one other autorigger missing for maya in this list :hmm:

hehe, i'm not exactly hinting at something but rather asking a question if someone knows another autorigger for maya.

i thought i stepped over 4 or even 5 scripts/plugins that to autorigging for maya over the last couple of months.

unfortunately i kind of lost track of all those scripts. i wasn't interested in all that auto-rigging stuff then but am now. doh :rolleyes:

We've released The JointFactory, a free pro autorigger for Maya developed for a feature film made in Norway and Britain.

Here's another one for max I just saw posted today. Haven't played with it yet.

Michael Comet's is about the best I've seen max-wise -- unless you get into Character Studio which is a pretty spiffy rig, especially now that it can have sub-animation controllers on bones.
