    I have used maya 2018, 19 and 20. And tried 3 different versions of AS. The latest being 6.280. I am also using the exact same character and the exporting method. Despite that it doesn't do face at all. In fact it doesn't even prompt with the objects being out of the group or resetting it's transformations. The prompts I get are "align", "straighten" and then "build" where it builds and attaches. So i get the body rig but with -90 in transform and ungrouped mesh and no facial control. Is this a maya version issue?

    • @AnimationSimplified
      @AnimationSimplified 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I'm not 100% positive but I do believe it's a version issue. I use 2022 and sometimes 2024. I'd reach out to Advanced Skeleton's page on Facebook and see what they say.
