Mixamo announced that they are releasing free scripts to auto-rig 3D characters in less than a minute using either Maya or 3DSMax. Is that not good news or what?

Ragdoll Dynamics 3.0 lets artists steer Maya character rigs in seconds, using live physics to produce work that’s not only better but up to a claimed 100x faster.

Reallusion releases Character Creator 5 with HD subdivision, MetaHuman-compatible animation, ActorMIXER Pro, HD Morphs, and new Maya & Marmoset pipelines.

Digital-Tutors today announced the availability of "Character Setup in Maya," a guide to Rigging and Binding in Maya and the latest release in its library of interactive training for digital artists.
