Originally published on July 3, 2024. Continue reading for details on the Mansur-Rig 2.6 update. Assaf Ben Zuf, the former MPC Lead Rigging TD, has released Mansur-Rig, his modular toolset for creating Maya character rigs, for free.

The tool simplifies the character rigging process for animation, visual effects, and game animation, and includes a free online library of character rigs. Ben Zuf has stated that he plans to keep actively developing the software and hopes that offering it for free for commercial use will help expand its user base.

Mansur-Rig offers an extensive library of rig modules, enabling users to create joint-based full-body and facial rigs for human and humanoid characters with ease.

Its non-linear workflow allows for the rigging of models that aren’t in a standard T-pose, providing greater flexibility in character design.

Built on a dedicated C++ node library, Mansur-Rig ensures that the generated rigs are optimized for performance, facilitating smoother animation processes.

The software includes features like a customizable animation picker UI and a Level of Detail (LOD) tool for managing character detail levels, enhancing both rigging and animation workflows.

The latest release, Mansur-Rig 2.6, introduces support for bat wings in its Wing module and adds a new peregrine falcon rig to the online library. It also ensures compatibility with Maya 2025 on Windows and removes the dependency on the PyMEL module, streamlining the installation process.

Mansur-Rig is free to download and use in commercial projects. Users can even sell the rigs they create, provided that the end-users also have Mansur-Rig installed. Animations produced with Mansur-Rig can be exported from Maya in FBX format, making them suitable for integration into game engines.

Mansur-Rig is more than just a rigging tool; it’s a gateway to unleashing your creative potential. Its free availability, combined with its powerful and flexible features, makes it an indispensable asset for anyone working in character animation. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to enhance your workflow and create stunning rigs with minimal effort.
