Automatic Rigging/skinning softwares?

Jonathan85

Hello, is there any software, in the year 2014 that finally allows a useable and quite nice automatic rigging and skinning of human characters, thus greatly reducing the time needed for character creation?

I know that mixamo offers online application that can skin and rig characters (and apply animations) quite easily, i tried it on 2-3 characters and it worked really quite well.
I also know about the plugin "bones pro" for 3ds max but that seems not so easy in comparison with mixamo.

Is there some other application that offers similiar result to that mixamo one?

There are plenty of auto rigging solutions for maya/max. Epic have a rigging toolkit for maya that comes with an unreal engine4 sub. Automatic skinning tho... probably not, and tbh its better to do it yourself than to purely use something that auto skins

check out Advanced Skeleton. It doesnt do EVERYTHING for you to the point of it being perfect. But it sure is useful as all hell, and very easy to use.

This is all mainly for maya, is there something for max or some kind of standalone application?

Something similiar to mixamo...?

(otherwise of course still thanks for your tips)
