+==Overview of the rig==
+Here is an overview of how the rig works: As stated before, our previous animating process was limited to FK only, which is inefficient for Oni. So instead we desperately needed an IK/FK capable rig, to which we would be able to snap a character, so we could animate him/her.
+At the same time, the rig would have to be capable of the opposite thing - snapping itself to the animated character. That's because most often the way we start out with making a new animation is copying the first or last frame of the preceeding animation. This functionality has been implemented, and is called Pose Matching. The way it works is simple - it uses bone constraints in rig controller bones targeting the character model in order to snap the rig to the model.
+The rig contains three Konokos by default: One T-Posed Konoko and two animated ones, all stored in their own collections. The T-Posed Konoko is there because it was easiest to build the rig off a T-Pose, while the remaining two ones, stored in Pose 1 and Pose 2 collections, is where you are supposed to store your animated characters, to which you can Pose Match.
