    Hi Kent! Thanks for the clarification.

    Yeah I’m not familiar with the DEF, MCH, and CTRL bone terminology when it comes to rigging, so I found myself lost in understanding the use case of each in the process. First time I’m delving so deep in the process.

    It seems to me that there’s 3 main steps here, IK/MCH setups, and then there’s figuring out the FK setups for the more specific movements needed, and then how the CTRL bones control the rig. In a nutshell. All to the DEF bones of course.

    This helps a lot you two, thank you for the help!
