[@activemotionpictures]

[@atique2545]

Lots of love to you! I always thought we needed something better than rigify at blender

[@rudrasingh6354]

You are missing the point. Rigify rigs your characters with a basic rig, this is a single character with an advanced rig

[@khalidothman89]

Thanks for the amazing rig!! I hope you will share with us the process of creating this beautiful rig

[@steffenmutter]

This is really awesome. Beautiful character made by professionals for free, to get used to animate a character. I am very excited.
