disecting rigs

[svenip]

best way to see it all is the hypergraph. beinn from the top parent of the rig and work through each child node. select the node and push the button for viewing all incoming and outcoming connections in the hypergraph. you will get a an overview of all connections.

I opt for the outliner. Its basically the same but everthing is in a single file downline. But whichever works for you is sufficient.

I would actually start in the viewport. You know, move things around, look at some of the attributes, see what is being constrained to what. Then when think you have a good idea of how it´s working you can look through the outliner or hypergraph. That´s just my preferred way though....

thanks guys. I actually started out in the hypergraph, but being still new to the rigging made things hard to understand. I will keep at it.

the hypergraph is awesome.. it might be a little bit overwelming in the beginning, but once you get your head around, it's really really nice and it starts making sense.

So keep at it and eventually you'll see that everything will fall into place

Good luck
