AdvancedSkeleton is the industry-standard character rigging system for Autodesk Maya. From indie films to AAA games, professionals rely on it to build production-ready rigs in minutes, not days.
From bipeds to creatures with 5 legs and 3 heads. Props, vehicles, faces — if it moves, AdvancedSkeleton can rig it.
3 heads, 5 legs, 100 fingers — anything goes. Not just creatures, but props, vehicles, and whatever your project demands.
Go back to the FitSkeleton at any time, make changes, and rebuild. Your animation data stays intact.
Easily create custom Selector UIs for your rigs. Give animators intuitive, visual control panels.
Store and retrieve poses and animation clips. Build your studio's motion library and reuse across projects.
Quick setup for both realistic and cartoony faces. Full facial rigging in a fraction of the time.
Rigs work without any tools installed. Send to freelance animators — they don't need AdvancedSkeleton to animate.
AdvancedSkeleton isn't just a rigging tool — it's a pipeline solution. Version 6.680 brings optimizations for small models, improved FaceSetup, and refined driving systems for smoother animation workflows.
Whether you're shipping a game, finishing a film, or building a character library, AdvancedSkeleton scales with your ambition.

I've recommended AdvancedSkeleton to customers since I was first introduced to it. They appreciate the flexibility and ease of use it offers and makes for a great production rigging system for a studio that doesn't have development time to build their own.
I have been using the AdvancedSkeleton system for many years and in many projects, and it sure delivers in both reliability and performance. It will give the animator all the control he or she needs, and it will give the Rigger freedom to be able to change the rig on the fly.
AdvancedSkeleton lets me create great character rigs, in only a few days. It has really made my professional life a whole lot easier.
AdvancedSkeleton have been a wonderful addition to our pipeline and have saved us a huge amount of time and energy.
Working with AdvancedSkeleton is like having a rigging swiss army knife: helpful wherever you take it.
