Great explanation! I wish i understood animation well enough to explain it as you did

[sespider]

Oh! And what are those Balls you were moving and how do you add them to the armature to do that?

It's only gay if the heads touch...

Thanks.
Interesting video.
I would like to understand why it is necessary to have so many levels of deformation. I want to understand your intent in the model. I want to understand why so much hierarchy is necessary in summary form as in
(Example)1. We need hooks to control curve. 2. Curve to control bones... 3.

I have experienced curve with hooks and armature.
But the two lattices I do not understand yet.. No direct manipulation? Rotational symmetry compression/decompression? View again.
