What versions to use?

[FluidPunk]

Hi Miquel and Everyone!
First of all huge thanks for this wonderful rigging tool,
our production pipeline still using maya2022.4 version as main software.
I just want know should we use latest mGear5.3.0 in Maya 2022.4 version (Still using 4.3.0)?
I compare latest released with Maya 2022.4 vs Maya 2026.3. where I used chain_spring_gavity_01 and mantis(Guide Template Manger),
where chain spring gravity not working and mantis bones and controllers messing around,
I’m not here to judging latest tool bug, It’s ongoing process that would be never end and day by day improving that’s what I loved it most.|
In short should we update the latest version in Maya 2022.4?
Or still stick with 4.3.0!
Just need advice to all developers.
Regards

I got this custom component based on the standard chain spring but replaced the spring nodes for gravity and exposed the parameters as attributes in the dedicated host. [image] I have been using it quite a lot and no problems so far. It is as easy as creating a spring chain but with gravity, ground plane collision and custom colliders. For custom colliders you need to set it up within each node, adding the …

I will recompile the solvers for the next 3.5.2 update
