Maya Version:

-Rig works the best on versions (2022 and 2024)

#—————————————————————————-

Known Limitations:

–Rig works the best on both Maya 2022 and 2024.BUT ……

it doesn’t work properly -for unknown reason-Maya 2023.

-For Maya 2025: it works great , but -again , for unknown reason- file takes longer to open .

-Rig is not tested on 2026.

-Rig is not single chain Hierarchy .i.e  it is not exportable as a skeleton to Unreal /Unity Engines .

The only way is to bake geometry transformations , it is easy .We can provide a separate tutorial for

that if needed .
