riging and help maya?

Posted: 02:36 PM 6 Days Ago
I have maya and have a good bit of XP animating objects and such but little on animating characters/rigs.
the problem is i cant find a rig that has proper categories, what i mean to say is i want my character to be in less than 200 parts - EG when i look at a payed character model asset it has bip01 or something and then some(less than 40) subcategories for hands forearms, feet,spine,neck…
does anyone know of a rig or way i can animated a model like these pro assets are animated.
sorry for being a little vague as i am inexperienced with rigs.

sry about the title, couldent think what to call the post

This series is a nice start (video 1 of 6):

is there no way i can get round having to make the rig?

Sure, you just buy a rigged character, better if Mecanim compliant, and a collection of Mecanim animation to apply on the Mecanim charater :wink:
