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 .
