maya-rigging (Authoring stage)
Joint hierarchies, IK handles, constraints, skin clusters, skin-weight transfer,
deformers, blend shapes, optional rig framework detection, and control curves.
Seventeen scripts cover the typical rigging loop.
Optional Frameworks
Use detect_rig_frameworks before relying on optional packages such as mGear,
AdvancedSkeleton, MGTools, Go Skinning, Skin Magic, SI Weight Editor, or
MetaHuman-style DNA tools. Built-in rigging tools remain the default path; optional
frameworks are only used when detection reports available=true.
