Hai Hai, I'm one of the core members working on this project for which I've taken on the role as the Rigging Artist :) I wanted to give an update on the rigging process on here for more people to see, much appreciated for omaii for posting and updating about the project <3 The rig has the basic ik fk joints, though I…
