Hello,

I am starting a new series of videos called “Rigging Sandbox”

Super BIG THANKS to @iamwat and Yanin for allowing me to use and update this rig. We will publish it for public download when is finished in the next video.

This time, I am making the talking head YouTuber style intro It is more difficult than it looks. I hope to get better doing this in the future

I hope you like it!

please someone help me…i did all is in the read me file and also i see the mgear in maya…but when i open this rig in maya my maya crashes please someone help me:cry:

Hi @Kofi_Jeffrey What version of Maya (including update number). And what OS?

That could be a number of reasons. Sometimes when a rig crashes on open, try one of these tricks. Sometimes it works. (Sometimes not…)

Import the rig, instead of opening it.
Reference the rig, and then import file from reference.

(Even if you are referencing the rig for animation, you could try this import trick first, and then save it as a new file. Then reference it.)

i have tried this rig in maya 2020 and 2019 but both don’t work…and also i am new into animation so i don’t really know what you are talking about…when i press the mgear command and after maya loads i press file,import and select spiderverse_ready07…and also i tried this method i press file,create reference and select spiderverse_ready07 is that what you are talking about…and also Thank you very much for replying to me

Kofi_Jeffrey · August 25, 2020, 8:34pm

and i’m on windows…is that the reason why it crashes?..

chrislesage · August 25, 2020, 9:18pm

Have you ever been able to open other mGear rigs in the past?

i press file,import and select spiderverse_ready07…and also i tried this method i press file,create reference and select spiderverse_ready07 is that what you are talking about

Yes that is what I am talking about. Does it crash when you do those methods too? Anyway, it’s just a trick, and sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t.

when i press the mgear command

What mGear command are you pressing?

and i’m on windows…is that the reason why it crashes?..

No, it should work just fine in Windows. But when you are trying to solve a problem, it’s important to provide details.

Kofi_Jeffrey · August 25, 2020, 9:32pm

no i haven’t try any mgear rig
yeah it still crashes when i do that method too
the mgear command that is in the spiderverse folder
oh ok
Thank you for replying me🙌🏾

Kofi_Jeffrey · August 25, 2020, 9:34pm

is it because i haven’t use any mgear rig…i hope you find solution to my problem because i really want to animate with this rig

Kofi_Jeffrey · August 25, 2020, 10:28pm

i think i can’t open mgear rig…i just downloaded the stormtrooper to test if it will work but it also made my maya crash…is there a problem that need to be fixed?

chrislesage · August 25, 2020, 11:18pm

I have no idea. But maybe please try to install mGear following the instructions on mGear. Instead of using the SpiderVerse command. I have no idea what kind of mGear the rig is distributing.

Miquel · August 25, 2020, 11:36pm

Hello @Kofi_Jeffrey another option will be to try @Milio’s mGear installer https://gumroad.com/l/GhQoe

Note: this installer will only install the .mll plugins, not the complete mGear

Kofi_Jeffrey · August 26, 2020, 12:33am

so if i’m not able to install the complete mgear…will i be able to open the spiderverse rig?

Kofi_Jeffrey · August 26, 2020, 12:34am

ok… thank you for your attention
