# Rig Connection

**Important**\
Models processed using **YanusReTARGET** can be seamlessly integrated with our custom rig system from **YanusSTUDIO**. This compatibility simplifies the animation workflow, enabling efficient use of our tools to produce high-quality animations.

### Functionality

* **Easy Integration**: The optimized models created using **YanusReTARGET** can be directly connected to the **YanusSTUDIO** custom rig.
* **Enhanced Workflow**: The integration ensures that your models are fully compatible with our rig, allowing you to streamline your animation process.
* **YanusFACE Compatibility**: Once integrated, any model can be further processed using our additional plugin, **YanusFACE**, which allows for detailed and precise adjustments of all **BlendShapes**, enhancing the quality of facial animations.

### Correcting and Updating Integration

If adjustments are needed, simply update the connections to align the rig with the processed model.

#### Expanding the Workspace

1. **Add new controllers** or adjust existing connections.
2. Reapply the integration process to update the rig setup.

### Additional Notes

This integration is designed to support flexibility, allowing you to connect processed models to various rig setups for different projects. Additionally, the **YanusFACE** plugin offers extensive tools for refining **BlendShapes**, providing greater control over facial animations for even more realistic results.
