To the unfortunate first few people who downloaded: UDIM textures didn't pack correctly due to a Blender bug, it should be fixed as of this comment, please re-download. :) Also note that the rig requires Blender 3.1, since 3.0 doesn't have UDIM support yet, so opening the rig in 3.0 will also result in purple textures. Added a warning about this in the description.

@Demeter Dzadik : Yup!  3.1 Alpha didn't work...  but the recent build of 3.1 that is linked above works great so far.

@Jeremy Bot 3.1 is the official stable release version at the time of your comment, no unstable alpha shennanigans required for Snow! :)

Hello Dzadik. A school asked me to teach few hours of animation. They asked me for a free rig first. Please, I would like to know if  the rig is free to teach?
