Andy Rig, by John Doublestein
This freeware character rig was developed at Savannha College of Art and Design (SCAD) by a SCAD student, John Doublestein. It is intended for students learning character animation. It features lots of controllers, FKIK switching, character sets for the body animation and for the facial animation, and a choice of geometries and textures.
After downloading, unzip or unstuff the files. Inside Maya use >File>Project>Set to set the current project. Now move the Andy Maya .ma file into the scenes folder of your current project. Place the Andy texture .jpg files into the sourceimages folder of your current project.
