Also, if you are willing to hire some serious help, rather then paying hefty moiney for a rigger, you may want to explore an option of someone writing you a Studio<>Max type bridge plugin with their developers kit:

I'd have to ask a serious programmer type to translate in plain english what all this object oriented, SDK and integration means... but if I were you I'd be very curious to see how it may help me... and of I (or the programmer) could not sell it as a plugin later on.

The impression I got from those guys as siggraph was that they're dying to have more people write plugins for DS anyway.

You may even be able to find a college student whom would be willing to work on it as a school programming assignment or something similar. I've hired people in the past to write me plugins for my engineering software, from Max to Rhino, to CAD. So far it's turned out great every time.
