The record

Purpose: AdvancedSkeleton is a character-rigging pipeline for Maya aimed at artists, game studios, and film production.

Facial rigs: FaceSetup builds flexible facial rigs for realistic or stylized characters.
Rebuilding: Users can revise the FitSkeleton and rebuild while keeping animation and production moving.
Export: The pipeline exports to Unreal Control Rig, MetaHuman, mannequin skeletons, and clean FBX.
Utilities: Included utilities include selectors, mocap workflows, IK/FK tools, and skinning helpers.
Other pipeline tools: The workflow can start from Unreal, Character Creator, scans, or custom assets, and destinations include Unreal, MetaHuman, Unity, FBX, and outsource partners.
Free use: The free version includes every feature and is for non-commercial use; the download page says there are no trial limits, watermarks, or signup requirement.
Supported systems: The download page lists Windows and macOS and says the Maya release supports Maya 2022–2027.
Blender and Unreal versions: The download page lists AdvancedSkeleton for Blender 5.2+ and Unreal Engine 5.7+.
