Mesh & avatar sizes: do I have to rig them all from scratch?

[Vinc3nt Velinov]

Hello,

I am going to ask a very noob question.

I have modeled and rigged an avatar and I want to upload it in different sizes (Maya 2010).

My question is: do I have to rig each of the five sizes of the avatar from scratch?

Or maybe there is a trick I can use in order to scale them, fit the proper size and avoid the work of the skin weight on each of them again?

I hope that this question makes sense.

Thank you so much for the help.

Here is a link how to make tiny avatar in Blender and import it to Second Life. Maybe you'll get an idea from it how to do it in Maya. You don't need to rig each size from the scratch. Just scale down the rigged one to different sizes and import them to SL.
