Video Demonstration

A rig I made to help modders port and create armor for Monster Hunter: World using Blender 2.79 and 2.8+. MHW does not officially support modding and therefore does not come with an original rig for armorsets. Through careful observation and comparing existing model weights, I think I got pretty close to a matching result. I did my best to keep it as lightweight and simple as possible so new users and modders could use it without getting overwhelmed.
