It would nice to have the ability to customize how left and right are named.

some options would be:

• what the text sensitive case is (eg. leg_l, or leg_left, leg_L, leg_Left)
• whether it's at the beginning or end of the name (eg. R_Leg , Leg_R)

.. and to have ctrls named to match (eg. R_Leg_ctrl , Leg_right_ctrl)

For the DogHindLeg & DogFrontLeg component
Switching between FK / IK causes joints to not be 1:1

It keeps getting covered up by outliner, attrib editor, Hypershade, and even Maya itself

clicking on ctrl and then choosing color doesn't change the color

When inserting a joint, it doesn't show up on the list. I have to unselect the card and reselect for the the list to refresh,

Hey Pat! I am trying to install Fossil but I get this error:

Error: ImportError: file C:/Users/Alessandra/Documents/maya/scripts\pdil\core\ui.py line 16: No module named Qt

Not sure what to do... 😁

| The following cards had errors: |
| Hip_card |

-It's worth noting that this happens even when I don't modify anything in the dogleg template build.
-This happened in 2019

I'm trying to adjust settings under the SplineTwist card. There's a drop down to change CV Count to Custom Curve. when setting these value, something errors out and doesn't stick.

after i use the Start Tab and create a new set of cards, The start tab becomes empty. And also the color swatches are gone from "Controller Edit" tab.

I get this error when trying to access the dag menu in maya 2019. I'm pretty sure I followed the directions correctly

Error: WindowsError: file C:/Users/Archanex/Documents/maya/scripts\pdil\melOverrides\dagMenuProc.py line 63: 3

Reproducible when creating IK controls on the arms in True Zero Mode, the IK and FK rest positions are not 1:1. Switching cause the IK FK position to shift ever so slightly.

Certain components build default spaces (splineTwist will create local,main, parent)

If we end up deleting these, or renaming them. They restore back to default. The default spaces that were deleted are recreated on restore. and the ones that we're renamed restore with the original name.

This happens on the SplineTwist, SplineNeck, IK, dogIK

it would be great if restoring the mods restored the spaces exactly as they we're stored

Hey I threw the scripts in the maya 2018 scripts folder in My Documents, this is the error i get run i try to initialize the following command:

import pdil.tool.fossil.main
pdil.tool.fossil.main.RigTool()

Error: ImportError: file C:/Users/alanz/Documents/maya/2018/scripts\pdil\tool\fossil\ui\rigToolUI.py line 362: No module named motiga.tool.fossil.cardlister

Im not sure what to do and I really want to play with this tool set! Thanks!

was trying to execute this:

import pdil.tool.rigTools
pdil.core.alt.call('Quick Hide Controls')()

Heheh, sorry Pat, now I got this error:

C:/Users/Alessandra/Documents/maya/scripts\pdil\tool\fossil\ui\rigToolUI.py line 10: No module named PySide2

would be great to add suffix and /or prefix to joint names that would not affect the naming of ctrls.

eg. old Motiga - b_Pelvis
some other workflows - Pelvis_JNT

Also wanted to add that the Dog Leg ctrls don't build properly when units are not cm aswell

Originally posted by @kungfoojoh in #11 (comment)

If I set the units in maya prefs to inches meters or anything other than cm. mirrored joints e.g. the leg_r joints are created really big.

Hey Pat! I was just thinking of tinkering around with an old Gigantic rig. I opened in up in Maya 2019 and found that the cards were being recognized in the Fossil UI list. Also I don't see the spaces or FK/IK in the DAG right-click menu. When I create a new rig, neither of these issues occur.

Is this expected at this point? If so, I'm wondering if there's a smart way I could bring the old rigs up to date with the tools.

Would be nice to have Add TrueWorld back again. A space that is not affected by the world Ctrl

"Remove" does't remove space from list

Fossil keeps giving me errors when I try to build the spline neck module. It does build something, but I'm not sure if it's working as designed or not

It would be nice to have Maya remember the location and last tab of the ui when reopening

The calculation to create True Zero foot is creating foot ik controls that are not align to the foot. the Y rotation looks like its compensating the wrong way
