LUCKY 13 Jointed Figure Rig by Emilio Serrano
LUCKY 13 Jointed Figure Rig for Maya is a free mGear rig by Emilio Serrano of Lucky 13, the articulated figure Gabriel Rosiak designed to be 3D printed and assembled at home. The hands stay rigid, cast as one piece like the printed toy, so the performance lives in posture, attitude and silhouette. It ships with the mGear guide and post-scripts, and was built and tested in Maya 2024.

Latest rig updates
LUCKY 13 Jointed Figure Rig is out
Everything the rig ships with. What you get on day one:
Started life on Printables.com
Gabriel Rosiak designed the figure for anyone with a 3D printer to assemble. The rig keeps that jointed toy look.
Rigid hands, on purpose
The printed figure's hands are a single piece, and Emilio kept them that way in the rig.
Guide and post-scripts
The mGear guide and post-scripts come in the download, alongside the rig itself.
A lesson in limited animation
A restricted range of motion that makes you sell emotion through timing, appeal and strong silhouettes.

The story behind Lucky 13
A 3D-printable toy that became a Maya rig
Lucky 13 stands apart from Emilio Serrano's other rigs because of where it started: as a downloadable articulated figure on Printables.com, designed by Gabriel Rosiak to be printed and put together by anyone with a 3D printer. That origin gives the rig a toy aesthetic, jointed and expressive, that you will not find on other Maya characters.
Emilio stayed true to the printed design. The real figure's hands are cast as a single piece, so the rig's hands are rigid too. That is part of the character rather than a limitation: it frees you to focus on posture, attitude and full-body storytelling, and to move him the way a 3D-printed figure moves.
