New HumanIK Character template

A comprehensive Character Template adds extra bones and joints.

A new HumanIK character template, FullRigControlsConfig.xml, has been added to the two existing rig templates (CharacterControlsConfig.xml and CustomRigControlsConfig.xml). This new template provides a comprehensive list of all spine, neck, hand and foot joints, extra shoulder joints, as well as additional finger and toe bones.

To load the new FullRigControlsConfig.xml template:

Select > Edit > Custom Rig > Load UI Configuration.

Find the FullRigControlsConfig.xml with the other rig templates here:

• Windows: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\<Maya version>\resources\CharacterControls
• Mac OS X: /Applications/Autodesk/<Maya version>/Maya.app/Contents/resources/CharacterControls
• Linux:/usr/autodesk/Maya/resources/CharacterControls
Note:

By default, the character controls templates are created in CharacterControls directory during installation. These files are used to create the default layouts for the Controls and Custom Rig tabs.

Additionally, an error where the Joint Number ID for the Foot and the Ankle is incorrect in the CustomRigControls.xml template has been addressed.
