Re: [PLUG] mGear Teaser
Not sure about the skin weights stuff in the beta. I did one module to do export and import weights at generation time. But I remove it from the first release, since I want to change some stuff. This version is using Pickle, I think the original Gear skin export/import was xml. However I didn't make anything to exchange the data between maya and softimage. My recommendation for Maya skinning is ngSkintools. This plugin is free and works really well.

Re: [PLUG] mGear Teaser
I pretty much abandoned Maya after rigging a character in it. Picked it up again when I found the UnrealEngine auto rig, but nearly lost my shit around the whole z is up thing Thanks so much for this!! This might make me take on some character work in maya.
