In this post, Demeter reveals that he is using CloudRig, an extension of the Rigify rig, while adapting to his very own procedural approach. He goes on to show use-cases where procedurality is useful (such as the character's limbs, which work identically for all of them), while at the same time highlighting others where a solid hand-crafter approach is key (like the faces, which are unique to each characer), giving birth to the Hybrid rigging workflow.
