I decided to create a very simple (Rigify) rig just so that the model is pose-able.
Step 01: Activate the Add-on Rigify.
Step 02: Add > Armature > Rigify Meta-rigs > Human
Step 03: Go into Edit-Mode and move the rig to where it’s supposed to be.
Step 04: Apply transformations in Object-Mode for good luck.
Step 05: Select the model, the rig last.
Step 06: Press Generate Rig.
Step 07: Move your rig and find mistakes!
Step 08: Send it to Maria and she starts all over again because Rigify is messy. (see: her blogpost)
Step 09: Be shook as to how good the rig is.
(While the rig is amazing, the Grease pencil got lost along the way so I had to add it back in, which was harder than expected. I drew everything again bc it broke sosmehow.)
Step 10: create a small animation that’s vibey but no one can’t see the character design because you are unhappy with it!
