I totally understand you! I also started piero 2 times, but i had problems with retopology. Retopoflow helped me lots and it also happen to be cg cookie creation xD
OMG these are some good control bones. I didn’t do my control shapes bacause i have no time and I’m going into starting my own models soon from scratch but yeah yours are <3 I may also use yours for future reference
No i haven’t used any plugin for bone managment sadly :< maybe someone will manage to create widget collection addon
