OverRig Plugin
OverRig Basic Scripts is the foundation pack of Pavel Barnev's Maya animation toolset, used by animation teams at Riot, Guerrilla, Creative Assembly, Wargaming, Saber and Netease. OverRig converts the animation of objects into a structure that is easier to animate, so you can add controls a rig is missing, animate tails, wings and bone chains, and polish hand-keyed animation or mocap. Maya 2017 to 2027.

What it does
Three rig problems OverRig takes off your plate
The problem
The rig is missing a control
Rigs rarely have every control a shot needs. OverRig adds the control, works around rig limitations and reorganises the hierarchy on the fly, without losing the animation you already have.
The problem
Secondary motion on long chains
Tails, wings and chains of bones eat time when keyed by hand. The overlapper, noise menu and chain dynamics conversion to a Ribbon system animate them cleanly.
The problem
Mocap and hand keys that need polish
Sketch the movement without worrying about cleanliness, then use OverRig to polish it, including mocap and interactions between characters, objects and the environment.
Inside the tool
Inside OverRig Basic Scripts
The pack has grown version by version, and each version ships with its own documentation in the download. The tools are built for a sketch-then-polish workflow: get a solid overall sketch of the movement first, then bring the animation to perfection with OverRig.
