So now here's another challenge that I couldn't get over Let's say that these generated ctrls are supposed to deform certain packed geometries that are close by their positions. How is that possible to accomplish? Since the ctrls are generated through a snippet, the geometry can't be fed as captured packed geo upstream.

Every step forward yields a completely new enigma in and of itself

Hi;

Lay down a MH character Rig node and point to the MH folder to load in the DNA for both the head and the body. Then Select the node, right click and make the node editable and dive inside. There, you will see the all the rig logic that deals with facial and body controls etc. Locate the network box named "mh_deform" which contains rig initialization ARC node ("mh_fktransform") and an ARC node that handles deformation ("mh_bonedeform") What you need to do is to laydown an Apex Autorig Builder node right after bonedeform and build your rig. When you go up one level to animate, you will get the fully animatable body rig you just built plus the facial controls that are computed after the formation of the body rig. You might also want to lay down a "Clean" node to hide leftover joints to do away with visual clutter inside the MH character Rig node.

Hi, here is a component script that will set up a control per prim in a group and then constrain it to the prims, post bonedeform.
Hope this helps.

This nothing short of pure gold William! Thanx a million! I am studying it atm and I'm sure it'll open up so many doors for me (Your master class already did btw)

Lotsa cheers;
