Ok sideFX, I get that you've done wonderful work on your auto rig component things and you and the community are loving it, Nice work! but for those of us who want to understand what's happening and how all the pieces fit together, can you spare a moment for us? Can we get some content that doesn't involve using autorig components. It no so much about the rigging but about how the system works with data.

For example, how do i set up attributes and such to create controls from scratch? how do I create and get tags and property attributes created on skeletons into APEX? Is that even the right question to ask?

If I'm missing something in the documentation, my bad, please point me in the right direction. I want to know how to handle data (attributes, tags, properties, control shapes) between skeleton creation and rig graph.

I get that the APEX graph is geometry, but it doesn't feel like I can wrangle it like typical geometry.


I've uploaded a silly little file here but hopefully some can point me in the right direction based on the notes in the file.

I'm playing around trying to understand, but I need some guidance from more knowledgeable folks for sure!
