Buzz Lightyear Maya Rig by Roly

Buzz Lightyear is a joy to animate, and Roly's Maya rig of him is the kind of community fan rig the animation world needs more of. It was built for study, practice and animation challenges.

What makes Buzz a good subject is the contrast. He is bulky and stiff in his armour, so the performance has to come through in his hands, his hips and especially his face. Roly's rig handles all of that, with the controls you need for clean acting beats, body mechanics and the bigger heroic poses Buzz lends himself to so naturally.
