In that spirit, I have compiled a list of some of the most fun rigs by sifting through Creativecrash (on of the largest respiratory and marketplaces for all things 3D) and a few other places where rigs are available for maya, for free, for practice, and for play. Read more on the compilation and have some fun! Maya rigs, maya character rigs, free maya rigs.

* This rig is for non-commercial use only. Animation practice, school project, personal projects, 11s club contests and demo reel are totally fine.
Cannot download/ buy the rig? https://youtu.be/jPB-8-ewvFI
Technical Information
Software: Maya 2012 (or higher)
Rigged using Advanced Skeleton.
Maya scene files include:
Dragon_rig: the rigged dragon
Dragon_lighting: this is where you animate the dragon, the lighting was setup already (mental ray). Use Render_cam for the best results.
Texture folder: all the texture files (color, normal, displacement, specular).
Remember to set project, so all the textures can be loaded automatically.

Hi
Hi, my name is Châu Võ Bá Trường (or Truong in short). I'm a cg artist from Vietnam. You may know me via my Maya rigs at Gumroad, Cubebrush, Turbosquid, Artstation or my clips at Youtube. Making 3D characters & films are what I do and I'm passionate about.
Why my Maya rigs are mostly free?
Free means many people can download, get inspired (I hope ^^) and animate them or choose to model & rig as what I'm doing, this is good too. Especially students, who don't have money to purchase expensive things when they first start. Simply download Maya, download my rigs and you're ready to go.
I'm too happy when people inbox me their animations. Some blow my mind. Animator brings life to my rigs.
What I will share on this Patreon?
Early access to my Maya rigs.
All of my rigging videos (real time or x2 speed).
Sculpting videos (real time or x2 speed).
Early access to my tutorials.
In case I make films, I will share:
Film making videos: sculpting, modeling, re-topology, render setup, ...
Exclusive tutorials
Hi-res renders for wallpapers
Film posters
I'm learning Unreal to make game assets (then games later). If this happens, I will share:
Game character making videos
Project files
Sometimes, painting & drawing videos.
Basically, you will gain access to every daily activities of mine as an artist.
Also, you will have your name appeared on my video credit as my supporter. :)
Pay per month and be aware of being charged upfront
With this method you will gain access to EVERYTHING I do in this month. Some months I do more, some months I do less. I will try my best to have products every month. (Bear with me when I have hard time sometimes)
You will be charged right at the moment you ledge and gain access to everything right after this moment. Therefore, avoid ledge me in the end of month.
One month later after Patreon
One month later, I will share my products on other sites like Gumroad, Cubebrush, Turbosquid, Arstation.
Hope everything is clear now and please consider support me if you can.
Thank you!
