    Finally cracked the code! Before, rigging felt like wrestling spaghetti. Now, “How to Rig Characters for Animation” gave me the clean, logical workflow I needed. My characters actually move realistically, and I understand *why* things are breaking (and how to fix them). Definitely worth the time.
