Purpose: dpAutoRigSystem is an open source, free automatic rigging system for Maya.
Implementation: The project describes itself as a Python script that automates the rigging process in Maya.
Architecture: Its architecture is modular, multilingual, and object-oriented, allowing users to combine parts to build rigs.
Workflow: The documented workflow creates guides as blueprints, parents them, configures rig attributes, adjusts controller shapes, skins the model, then cleans up and publishes it for animation.
Rebuilding: The system includes a rebuilding feature for updating a rig when needed.
Skinning: The skinning tools can create skinCluster nodes and add or remove joint influences on selected geometries.
Weight transfer: Skin weights can be copied using closest-point or UV-space methods, and exported or imported as JSON files.
Installation: The instructions install the dpAutoRigSystem folder in Maya's scripts directory or another MAYA_PATH, then launch it with Python in Maya's Script Editor.
Platforms: The installation page gives example Maya scripts paths for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Support: The project asks users to contact the maintainers with suggestions, questions, or comments and links to its wiki for documentation.
License: The repository identifies the project as GPL-2.0 licensed.
Intended users: The project says it was created to help users make rigs themselves.
