UZURIG2 Rigging Plugin for Maya

About UZURIG 2

UZURIG 2 is a modular rigging system designed for game development. It adopts a method where rig controllers are built on top of an existing bone structure, enabling a flexible and efficient rigging workflow.

Using dedicated tools, FBX files containing FK-based bone animations can be imported and converted into rig controller animations.(Note: Retargeting is not performed during this process.)

Supported Platforms: Windows

Supported Maya versions: 2023, 2024, and 2025

 

Included Rig Data

A sample rig scene featuring “TA-style Kano Saginomiya” is included.Please make sure to use this rig in accordance with the terms of use provided in the package.
