One note, could be great to add one index finger to sky, not the whole hand, just the index finger :)

Hi, can I create animation courses (whether paid or not )using those rigs without providing them to the students ?

How do you switch to IK for the arms in the Sky Rig?

*@steven2* Select one of the IK_hand bones, press "N" to open the item panel, at the bottom under "Properties" you should see the "IK" slider.

Where could we see the reviews on the rigs. For a beginner like me, it's not clear how to even activate ball controllers (for example to make the ball look like a water drop). Also, it would be better if there were subtitles that show what buttons the instructors are pressing. In general, the training seems to be created for those who are familiar with the technical part of the software. That's why it's difficult to reproduce the same animation. I've watched and practiced the free tutorials in the official youtube Blender channel. But it's obviously not enough to understand how certain activities were made. If it's possible if there were a more detailed explanation of every move. I'm currently on bouncing balls level, and some things are that obvious to figure out. But I hope the more I'll learn the more I understand the process somehow.

*@chris austin idris* Hey Chris! There should be a big "Download" button on the page, with a thin blue outline around it. It's on the right side, just above where the comment section starts.

Hello. I'm going through it from the beggining as a intermediate user (at least in animation :D) I know this is aimed for animation not rigging, for that purpose there is Humane rigging which I went through long time ago (And still relatable :) ) But one technical thing really confuses me. When comparing rigging techniqe from humane rigging with this latest ball rig. I can see that when I squash assistant and rotate Ball bone it works as it should (ball remains its stretch along the ball rotation) but didn't see any setting/constraint/driver on any bone or object, as it was proceeded in humane rigging set up. So is that okay or what am I missing in the new one rig please? :/
