# YanusSTUDIO RIG

The **YanusSTUDIO RIG** was created to make our templates feel more **unique and professional**, moving away from the default MetaHuman rig that we used in the past.

While the internal hierarchy of YanusSTUDIO RIG is almost identical to the **MetaHuman rig**, its **appearance and structure** have been simplified. This makes it easier to work with, while still maintaining compatibility with models based on the MetaHuman system.

***

### 🔑 Key Features

* **Custom look & feel** — designed to represent our own studio’s style rather than relying on the standard MetaHuman rig.
* **Simplified hierarchy** — easier to navigate and manage compared to the original MetaHuman setup.
* **Compatibility** — in order to connect your model to YanusSTUDIO RIG, it must be **based on the MetaHuman rig**.
  * Controller names need to match so the system can properly link the model.

***

### 🛠 How to Use

1. **Import YanusSTUDIO RIG** into your scene.
2. **Connect your existing model** (based on the MetaHuman rig).
3. Ensure that **controller names match** between the model and YanusSTUDIO RIG.
4. Once connected, you can take advantage of the simplified hierarchy for smoother workflow.

***

✨ In short: YanusSTUDIO RIG is a **MetaHuman-compatible custom rig** with a cleaner hierarchy and professional design, making rigging and sculpting easier and more intuitive.
