Why AdvancedSkeleton
More pipeline.
Less rigging overhead.
A mature toolset that lets artists move quickly while technical directors keep the control and flexibility production demands.
Fast FaceSetup
Build flexible facial rigs for realistic or stylized characters—with artist-friendly controls animators understand.
Any body configuration
Bipeds, creatures, props, vehicles, extra limbs, multiple heads—rig the design instead of forcing a template.
Non-destructive rebuilds
Return to the FitSkeleton, make changes, and rebuild. Keep animation and production moving.
Outsource-friendly
Finished rigs animate without AdvancedSkeleton installed, so handoffs are clean and licensing stays simple.
Production utilities included
Selectors, mocap workflows, IK/FK tools, skinning helpers, and a deep library of everyday rigging tools.
Maya → Unreal in minutes
From asset to animator
without the detour.
Use your source asset, build in Maya with AdvancedSkeleton, then send a clean, production-ready character to Unreal.
Start from Unreal, Character Creator, a scan, or your own model.
Match the skeleton, generate controls, skin, and refine.
Send the rig or animation to Unreal, MetaHuman, or FBX.
Revise, rebuild, animate, and keep the pipeline moving.
