Quadruped autorigger project scriped in MEL. The workflow for fitting it to a simple cheetah mesh can be seen below.

i)A single click builds a set of guide curves which can then be edited to fit a mesh. The greyed out curves on the rig's right are mirrored automatically.

ii) Once the guide curves are complete the rig is built. The rig uses a lofted nurbs surface to deform the body and is also fully scalable. The spine has stretch and shoulder/hip priority switches.

iii) The rig and the cheetah mesh. Note that the overall scale of the control curves can be set at build time.

iv) Weights can also be stored and reloaded.
