Such a wrong take! Get your joint positions in the right place (iterate as much as necessary; they make a HUGE difference), then build your weights, then use this as the cherry on top (which you can also bake into corrective shapes!).
A deformation rig is like a house: if you have a terrible foundation you’ll have a hard time building that rooftop.
Weight painting for hours just to get clean rig deformations?
There's now a 3-click fix for that in Blender — powered entirely by Geometry Nodes, no Shape Keys, no drivers.
Huge time-saver from @Xeofrios
👏 Have you tried fixing rig deformations this way yet? Drop your method below 👇

Bell’s Phenomenon 👁️
In most of the population, our eyes roll up a lil during lid closure…

…It’s a protective reflex. When animating blinks, add more *bells* & whistles w/a slight eye roll.

Have you ever wondered where mGear is developed? Here is my home office. As you can see, I am a big @thinkstations fan. Last year I got a sponsorship from @Lenovo — I think I never said it publicly, thanks!!

Fantastic example!
It might be tempting to spin from the hip controller, but for a physically accurate spin the body would rotate around its center of gravity (COG) - which for someone curled up actually places it outside the body and roughly in the center of the curled 'ball'

Heading to Annecy this June — and I'd love to see you there.
I'll be at MIFA during the Annecy International Animation Film Festival (23–26 June 2026) and I'm setting aside time for studios and mGear users who want to geek out.

Make yourself a favor and use the real thing as reference: melindaozel.com/facs-cheat-s….
A lot of those AUs you made don’t correspond to the real movement. And before anyone says “well, it’s close enough”, I can also call my jaw open as “jaw closed” but that wouldn’t be accurate, wouldn’t it?
