We have posted a new folder with some updated compiles for the older versions.

Should be posted later today!

You might have cached playback enabled. Disable that.

A new version of Picker does have an extensive API but it will not be for free. Stand by for updates.

on 4k monitors the button text can appear too big. "This only happens if you've manually gone in and changed the text scaling settings in windows itself. If you set it to not scale / be at 100% text size this won't be an issue. A lot of applications have these types of issues and it can be a bit har...

It's not clear from the video if you have an object selected in maya to make a button of?

Hi! Terms are listed here: https://www.animschool.edu/DownloadOffer.aspx

It sounds like you need to reference the character in instead of opening/importing.
Make sure it has a namespace. Normally malcolm_v200

Sorry I don't know anything about Arnold rendering.

There is a picker button AllGeo. You can select that and hit 1 on your keyboard to downres.

Maya has made very large changes in the last few versions which make rigs more likely to crash Maya. Here are a few things you can try. If you're using Maya 2018 First try installing Maya 2018 Update 4 or 5. If you're using Maya 2019, try the latest update version. (Updates are available on the Upda...

Hello! It is for Maya 2017 and higher.
If you can't update, it's possible we could post a previous version.

Hi! What studio is it?

I tested the current version and it does load.

It's possible it is trying to load another file or one in memory. Did you restart Maya?

You probably want to remove all keyframes from ctlPlacement. That's the control that has the outfit visibility on it. You want to control the visibility with the picker buttons because more goes on behind the scenes to hide skin for the right outfit, but if you have keyframes on ctlPlacement, you mi...

Hello! We just made some good updates to Malcolm 2.0. All expressions removed and replaced with math nodes for speed and stability with newer versions of Maya. Much better ik/fk snapping, switchable space switching attributes on the arm ik controls (make them follow the chest/head etc and keyable on...

Hello! We just fixed some ik/fk snapping an other issues on Malcolm. Please download the new version. You have to also use the new body picker which has changed to support some new features.

Arms?
Nothing has changed so that's odd.
We are about to make an update, which might help.

Sounds like you might have opened or imported the rig instead of referencing. You have to reference it with the namespace. See the youtube video link on the info page.

The PC version of AnimSchoolPicker for Maya 2020 is now available!

It sounds like you might not have referenced the character rig in. You need to reference with the namespace option for the buttons to all work correctly. See the instructions: https://www.animschool.com/MalcolmInfo.aspx

You can watch the video for some instructions on how to use him: https://www.animschool.com/MalcolmInfo.aspx

Hello! No, Malcolm was developed for students so they need to build their own lip shapes. You are welcome to make them though.

You can use those purple controls (ctlDirect*) to reshape parts of the rig.
You can translate and scale other controls but yes you do run the risk of interfering with the rig's operation. There is no set way to do this but if you are our student we can meet with you in Model/Rig General Reviews.

Good question. The switch for the arms is on that controller but it makes it oriented to that control. So if you ever wanted to change how it was oriented *when in world space* you can do that with those controllers. So if the arm controller when in world space isn't a helpful angle you can reorient...

We had reports of more issues - We have posted a new version of the 2016 AnimSchool Picker for Mac.

In the most recent versions of Maya, the textures from older versions show up brighter and shinier. For now you can adjust them manually.

We have posted a new version of the 2016 AnimSchool Picker for Mac. Please try to redownload.

We don't have a button for that.
But you can make your own script and make a button for it.

Or you can use animBot, which does have that feature.

There are several compiles for PC Maya 2016 in the folders. Try those.

We have posted updated versions of most of the post Maya 2015 AnimSchool Picker builds.
This version has some small fixes and Namespace fixes.

There is an AllGeo button in the picker. You can use that to select the geo and hit 3 to turn on smooth mesh preview.

Hello! If you are a student, please email support for faster response.

You want to reference the character in with namespace option. It looks like you are using "prefix"- not recommended and Picker will not work.

We are working on recompiles of all versions yes.

Did you reference in the rig with the Namespace option? Each object should have the namespace name like malcolm_v200:ctlPlacement not ctlPlacement.

We will probably have an update for the Mac 2016 version soon. It works currently on the non-Service Pack versions of Maya 2016.

That update was only related to Maya 2016

We have confirmed one of Maya's updates seems to no longer work so we are looking at a special compile for this. Stand by!

We are looking into this - thanks for the information. We have confirmed one of Maya's updates seems to no longer work so we are looking at a special compile for this. Stand by!

It sounds like you have opened the rig file instead of referencing it. Reference it with "Namespace" option.
