hi reddit! currently a 2nd year multimedia arts college student using harmony for my animation course :)

we’ve been tasked to create a character turnaround + rigging this character, i just have some questions!

1. what art/cartoon style is the easiest to rig? (ex: adventure time/rick and morty art style)

2. how would i go about rigging a character that doesnt have any pivot points shown / a “blob” character / a character that has parts being covered? (ex: a character wearing a dress/ puffy sleeves)

3. would using deformers for the whole rig be possible/ideal? which/what parts of the rig would be best for pivots and/or deformers?

4. how does the hierarchy work if i wanted to connect the head composite/masterpeg to the neck/torso masterpeg/comp?

4.2. should the neck be grouped with the head or with the upperbody/torso?

sorry if these are a ton of questions! ive been trying to look for solutions around the internet and none have really given me the answer i’ve been looking for in my specific situation. thank you all in advance!
