☆☆☆☆ 4 Stars - I am giving this rig 4 stars even though there are no textures because you get 7 rigs in 1! This is impressive. It's quite and achievement to get seven different character designs from one rigged puppet. The provided rig comes with instructions as to how to take an additional character model and retarget the entire rig to that model. There are no textures for these rigs, but they are free and the rigs are pretty solid. This is a simplistic rig designed for game animation but the UV's are there on the geo if you wanted to paint new designs and the rigs are great for teaching. The character designs are appealing and interesting, too!
***The facial is the worst part of this rig. It's limiting and I prefer facial controls to be direct deformers on the face and not blendshape driven. Blendshapes should only be used as a corrective tool for facial. I don't ever want to have to tell my director, "No the rig cannot make that facial pose." Blendshape limit you, while direct controls are more predictable and you can sculpt the shape you want without have to move some control around hoping it might make the shape you need.
I still think these rigs are fantastic because they are clean easy to use and teach with and you get seven different characters in one rig. This rig gets the "Redd the Clown Stamp of Approval!"
