Frequently Asked Questions

What file formats do you accept?

We work with all major 3D software formats including FBX, OBJ, Maya (.mb/.ma), Blender (.blend), 3ds Max, Alembic, USD, and more. We can also handle custom formats upon request.

How long does character rigging take?

Simple characters typically take 3-5 business days. Complex characters with advanced facial rigging can take 1-2 weeks. For film/AAA quality rigs allow 2-4 weeks. We'll provide a precise timeline during our initial consultation.

Do you offer revisions?

Yes! All our packages include multiple revisions. We want to ensure you're completely satisfied with your rig. Additional revision packages are also available, and we offer unlimited revisions with our Enterprise plan.

Can you rig for specific game engines?

Absolutely! We have extensive experience creating rigs specifically optimized for Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot, CryEngine, and other real-time engines. All rigs include proper root motion, hit boxes, and engine-specific optimizations.

What do I receive with my delivery?

Every rig includes: fully rigged source file, exported FBX, control picker UI, video walkthrough tutorial, control documentation, test animation samples, and 30 days of post-delivery support for bug fixes.

Can you work with motion capture data?

Yes! All our rigs are motion capture friendly by default. We use standard bone hierarchies that work with all major mocap systems including Vicon, OptiTrack, Xsens, and Rokoko. We can also retarget existing mocap to your new rig.

Do you provide rigging training?

We offer optional 1-on-1 training sessions with our senior riggers to teach your team how to get the most out of your rig. This includes animation workflows, troubleshooting, and advanced control usage.

What if my model has topology issues?

We provide optional topology cleanup and retopology services to ensure your model is rigging-ready. Poor topology is the #1 cause of bad deformation, so we always recommend this service for production assets.
