Still trying to learn rigging in maya, i found a script called rigomatic that looks like it will help me with ik/fk (the stuff i can't figure out) but i'm still having problems, mainly with the orientation of my joints. http://www.3dcentral.com/rigomatic/rigomatic.html thats the documentation for the program, i've read all…
if you are really interested in this topic i would suggest getting a book. If you can get your hands on a used copy of the rigging book Alias used to publish that is a good introduction. If you are interested in rigging with scripts 'The Art of Rigging' series is very good.
