Since you mentioned that R6 will be deprecated eventually, what if we could have R6 like rig but with mesh deformation? Wouldn’t this allow “R6” to support all the newest features just fine? Something like this was already done by the community but it would be great if it was official option (perhaps a special character bundle), since there is a lot of people like me who like the appeal of R6, and I wouldn’t mind the rig bending, if it means supporting a close replica of R6.
