Hi All,
I have a question to people that are using this kind of rig, I never 
tryed but don t this become too complex(chaotic?)when you want to 
finetune the animation in the AE??? Fcurve are refering to nothing 
anymore. .I want to say that if you want to make a "th" this is a 
position is xy space, not very clear.
thanks

Regards
Ahmidou.
