How to rig character with humanik maya 2013
At work we're moving from a MotionBuilder pipeline to Maya, which I'm responsible for creating. One of the tasks on the list I was handed was to move animated takes out of MB and into Maya so that all exported files can be run through the same export steps, and also so that moving forwards animators would have the same tools for working on older animations as they will on files using my new rig.
I have Maya Creation Suite 2012 on my work machine, which is touted as being able to seamlessly transfer data between the included apps– Maya, MotionBuilder, and Mudbox. I haven't had need to open Mudbox yet, but in my limited testing so far the Human IK rigs never come through properly from MB to Maya and on the Maya side the HIK characterization gets broken. This means that to do any animation fixes or retargeting inside Maya, the characterization needs to be deleted and rebuilt. Also funny: the automatic naming templates in Maya don't always work, making recharacterization a tedious manual process. Keyed transforms (joints, etc.) and meshes come through just fine, however, with all skinning and materials in tact. Updating previously-sent objects did not.
Apart from all that, the first file I've been working on has 50 animations in it. I didn't relish the idea of converting all of them by hand, so I set about seeing what's possible on the scripting side.
The FBX import/export plugin comes with a number of commands for massaging how files are read in. A full list of the commands is on Autodesk's site. Note that the Python versions of these functions fail; I think they're being generated improperly at plugin load. Could be that I'm just not calling them properly; I didn't bug-hunt because I found doing the HIK post-import steps didn't work in Python, either.
I've written more MEL in the last two days than I have in the last four years, not that it's a lot of code!

In this Maya tutorial we will be learn techniques, workflows and best practices for use with Maya's HumanIK (HIK) toolset. Throughout these lessons we will be learning some of the MEL commands needed to add HIK to a character rigging pipeline. Along the way we will look at some of the limitations with the HumanIK toolset and how we can work around them. By the end of the this tutorial, you will comfortable with HIK whether you are an animator with no rigging experience or a TD looking to add HIK to your rigging pipeline.
