...being able to face all challenges...solve all technical issues...there's no perfect rig...its all about what the scene and animation calls for...kung fu panda is a good place to see what a rigger's job truely is...

Jatin.Soni has a good point...Make different riggs each one demonstrating something different...each one showcasing a different technique...right now i have 3 puppets im working on..the first has IK/FK matching..the second has a facial rig and the third will demonstrate stretchy IK....but im not doing them all on one model...
