The Maya BonusTools rigging tools (Setup Arm, Setup Foot, Setup Back and Stretchy IK) came up in conversation the other day and I realized that I never posted the original demos showing how these tools work. Keep in mind that these are very basic and probably not going to be used in serious production. However the scripts they are based on can be helpful as reference for anyone trying to create their own custom rigging tools or some who just wants to learn some basic rigging concepts. This recording is fairly old but the tools still do the same thing.
