Hello dark space studios,

Thanks for the post. You absolutely can import your own character to maya and use the animation and rigging tool with it. I am attaching a link to our documentation page regarding the animation and rigging toolkit (ART):

This will give a broad overview on how the toolkit works and what scenarios you might want to use it for.
Once you have read that page there are two links at the bottom:

Rigging Tools
Animation Tools

These will take you to pages that walk you through the process. The rigging tools page will take you through the setup and rigging to get the model ready for animation. Then once you have finished that you can continue on to the Animation Tools page to begin adding animations to your rigged model. I hope that this information is helpful. Happy animating!

Thanks,

Absolutely. You just need to import your character mesh and then go to Epic Games->Character Rig Creator.
