Wing Rigging [Question]

@Hobbz
I took a moment to remove custom components in the bird template. I uploaded a new template called ‘encore_bird_defaultComponents’. Let me know if I missed a custom component.

first off, TY so much for taking the time to answer!

sadly i’m still getting an error :

= GEAR RIG SYSTEM ======component base directory not found for chain_FK

Error: RuntimeError: file C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2020\Python\lib\site-packages\pymel\internal\pmcmds.py line 130: Maya command error #

Warning: Custom component name: init.pyc, already in default components. Names should be unique. This component is not loaded #

(i’m on version 4.0.9 i don’t know if that makes a difference)

Also when i click download on the templates page it doesn’t actually downlaod anything for me it opens a new web page tab with what i assume is the raw version of the .sgt

So i just copy and paste that into an existing .sgt file. but i’m not sure if thats the way to go about things

Try downloading again. I removed chain_FK from the guide.

Hey Lethendris, can you walk me through how you renamed the components? I was gonna try it on the quadruped (Thanks Izze!!) but im not sure which lines in the sgt file need the edit and how to change them back to default.

Hey Izze! I love the bird rig! I was wondering if you could instruct me how to edit the sgt for the quadraped and the vehicle especially. I am dying to see how you set these up, but I cant figure out how to rename the .sgt files. I think each would be different to, so Im confused on how to get the names back to their default ones. Any help 1000% appreciated!
