Yes!  It worked!   I fixed the eyes.

I think the cluster/geobase stuff might be too beyond me.   I guess I'll have go without the corners.  Ah well.

Ellie, I'm glad it worked! I found that by just trying around and just doing stuff, I learned most of my 'skills' Many things I know of rigging I found because I had to reverse engineer the elevenrig in order to keep maintaining it. But there still is some crazy stuff going on underneath the hood I have no idea how Angelo could have made this happen
So, if you have some time, you might still want to try the clusters, since this is something that definitely will come in handy later on in your animation career. And it really isn't that hard! I'm just bad at explaining

Katana! Awesome! I keep being excited about this

Yes, that right, the eyes have a texture (even more than one, so you can change the eye color). You problem is obviously that you haven't set the project directory, so maya is at a loss when looking for the textures and thus renders out black. If you doubleclick on the texture node, you'll find a dialogue which leads maya to the texture file. If you edit this path so it fits your directory setup, I promise everything will render out fine. (Even the skin texture)

oh, sure you have, all textures are included in the download packages

Max 11 Torso is skinned and all torso morphs are functional.

Onto the head tomorrow.

I'd also like to put a constraint on the hands for holding things...we'll see.

*And yes the hands are default. I am intending to put hand scalers in there.

* Wolfor, you have email, get back to me when you can...thanks.

Hello,

I was hoping to ask you one of the issue I came across while using the Eleven rig.
I noticed the texture of the rig wasn't showing up properly on my shot. 
I am suspecting it might something to do with having two characters in the scene both referenced from the same rig modified to look different, and the texture is clashing.

If so do you know any way to fix this?
Please let me know,
and thank you so much for the awesome rig!!

Thanks

could you please port this to blender?
i use blender and there just aren't that many good character rigs for blender.

Nice dude! We can definitely add that to the collection!

Of course, I will be very proud !!
Worlfor, send me an email ( kiopaa3d (a) yahoo . fr ) so I could send you the rig.

That is awesome Kiopaa...should be a great addition. Nice job.

I am happy to report that Max 11 (Alpha) is finally finished and ready for testing. I am going to write up some documentation and then post it for breakage...I mean download.

This version has

6 unique torso blends
56 head morphs
1 new Eye Texture (yellow)
2 new hair types (Mohawk high and low)
3 unique face blends (Male,Female and Apehead)
A UV map for those who like to play in Photoshop.
Hand scalers to size for male or female.
As well as eye shape controls, brow controls (which are also linked to eyebrows) and local lip controls.
The facial hair pieces are a combination of skin wrap and skinning.

  All major geometry has corresponding materials assigned to them, making it easy to quickly change colors.

Here's a pic from viewport with meshsmooth on 1 iteration.



This project is in Alpha, so changes and additional adds will come as the community advises....and hopefully this won't be a complete failure...expect the download link to appear in the next 24 hours.
