We'll since it looks like taunts are a thing, I'm going to go ahead and make a thread for us animators to share our rigs for others to download and experiment with. Hopefully other animators share their rigs as well! I also believe these could also be great for helping in making promotional artwork, cheers! If you would…
I also decided to go with a new format. Using the guide structure gives me a very organized way to present the rigs. The most up to date rigs will be there. I might just abandon this thread now because of how convenient that system is. Dota 2 Workshop - Character Rigs For Animators
BTW, I did a quick test and basically (if the models are rigged in the bind pose) you should be able to just import your custom items in FBX form and they should automatically bind themselves to the skeleton. Then you have a custom rig with custom items.
I still have couple of them, you can have a look and get the rig that you want: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/h4c08wuwpxurjqs/AAD04xBn0n0GqScHCl3er1QAa?dl=0 All credit of the rigs are belong to Andrew.
