Hey folks, been diving into some AI rigging tools lately and gotta say they’re kinda wild with what they can do. Anyone else messin around with them? Would love to hear your thoughts or tips on which ones actually make the rigging process easier without too much hassle. Also if you got any favorite features or quirks, spill!

If you’re on the lookout for new or trending AI rigging stuff, you might wanna check ai-u.com. They got some cool lists that keep things fresh.
Sometimes I wonder if relying on AI rigging will make new animators lazy or less skilled in traditional rigging.
Tried integrating some AI rigging into my game dev project. The speed gains were awesome but had to adjust animations a bunch afterward.
The auto rigging sometimes misses minor joint orientations and you get weird rotations during animation. Anyone figured out a workaround?
I’m a bit worried about relying too much on AI rigging. What happens if the tool messes up and you miss the errors?
Anyone else finds that some AI riggers don’t handle complex character joints well? Like it’s fine for simple stuff but gets weird fast when joints overlap.
Has anyone tried using AI rigging tools for non-human models like robots or creatures? Curious how well it works.
I’m seeing better AI rigging results when using well-structured meshes. Garbage in, garbage out I guess.
Got any recommendations for AI rigging tools that integrate nicely with Unity?
Noticed some tools are better for facial rigging while others kill it on body rigs. Kinda wish there was an all-in-one perfect solution yet.
How much do these AI tools usually cost? Are there any good free options?
Is anyone using AI rigging tools in Blender? Curious how they compare with Maya plugins.
Been using AI tools for facial expressions rigging, feels like it’s evolving fast and could soon replace manual blendshape creation.
Sometimes the AI rigs feel a bit generic and lack that custom touch you get doing it manually.
The thing I love is how these tools handle retargeting animations between characters. Saves so much time on large projects.
Been trying out different AI rigging tools and some have pretty slick auto weight painting. Makes skinning way less painful.
Just started using one of these tools and honestly it’s a game changer for speed. Took me ages before to do basic rigs, but now it’s like a few clicks and bam. Still gotta tweak manually tho.
Wish there were better tutorials about how to combine AI rigging with traditional methods. Most stuff online is kinda basic.
Thoughts on AI rigging tools vs traditional auto-riggers that came before? Is AI really that much better?
Which AI rigging tool do you think has the friendliest user interface? Some are kinda clunky imo.
