Thanks seifneo this helps me out alot. im using maya for my project. my roommate was suggesting using a "blend original" and a "Blend vector" so that i can keep adding shapes after the rig is bound. would i place the joints on the blend vector? or would i be applying the joints to seperate shapes?

I have also noticed that there is alot of mention of orienting the joints after placing them all. can someone please explain the reasoning for this? I get that it makes sure that they rotate the same way, but if laid out in the front and side panels, would their orientation get messed up?
