Bipedal Rig Foundations

The first pass at a production-grade bipedal rig. Skeleton hierarchy, IK/FK switching foundations, and why most auto-riggers miss the point.

Auto-generating a full suite of facial blendshapes from a single input shape, and wiring them directly to the underlying bone structure.

Building a custom tool panel to automatically swap control curves based on context, visibility needs, and animator preference.

An early prototype building out the foundational FK/IK limb logic and solving the notoriously difficult automatic clavicle rotation in Blender.
