Rivetrols—Precise Rig Controls [Curves/Locators] and Rivets [Object Pins/Vertex Notch] for Autodesk Maya

Rivetrols™ is a comprehensive toolkit for Autodesk® Maya® that accelerates advanced rig-control setup workflows by consolidating locator creation, automatic constraint setup, curve circle generation, mesh-surface pinning, and wireframe color overrides into a single interface. It computes bounding-box centers for batch locator placements, drives surface-mounted pin controls via follicles and clusters anchored with UVs and normals, and produces user-driven curve controls oriented and grouped with consistent conventions.

Its integrated color-override feature helps instantly differentiate rig elements in the viewport—helping users maintain visual clarity in complex scenes. By automating repetitive tasks and defining clean hierarchy, it reduces administrative overhead to enables rapid iterations, freeing up time for creative refinement. The result is a streamlined workflow with enhanced productivity to keep users focused squarely on developing reliable, polished complex rigs.

Rivetrols™ is versatile enough to be incorporated into any rigging project—it’s particularly useful for props attachment rigging, and custom modular setups. The tool also caters to setups involving complex points based wiggles that require stable and predictable behaviors. By automating the placement of locators, and curve controls with precision, riggers can spend less time on manual adjustments and more time on the creative pursuits.

Rivetrols™ refines tedious rigging procedure by automating under-the-hood setups and stripping away repetitive tasks, so you can channel your energy into performance and demanding deadlines—whether you’re building complex character rigs or basic setups. Future advancements will be determined by user-driven feedback, with possibility of extended features to keep it adaptable in evolving production environments.
