      A normal, in-depth PuppetMaster tutorial would be great because this is the only plugin in its league, is very popular and also has nearly no up-to-date tutorials. I also believe that PuppetMaster was created when Animation Rigging was missing in Unity so it could be that what it does is actually achievable with Animation Rigging alone. If that's the case - a tutorial on how to implement that would be priceless.

I previously saw a video of how to do a ragdoll effect on another channel in unity, but it was a bit of work swapping between the pre-built animation and then the ragdoll effect. Is there a way to use procedural animation to simulate a ragdoll effect, where all limbs just collapses at the same time with maybe a force pushing it backwards?
