A normal, in-depth PuppetMaster tutorial would be great because this is the only plugin in its league, is very popular and also has nearly no up-to-date tutorials. I also believe that PuppetMaster was created when Animation Rigging was missing in Unity so it could be that what it does is actually achievable with Animation Rigging alone. If that's the case - a tutorial on how to implement that would be priceless.

Thanks for the tip about opening up a new property window when moving game object references into a component's slots to prevent the inspector changing to other game objects.

Great video! If you make a follow up on this, I would love to see the effect you mentioned with Uncharted. Having the character procedurally interact with the environment like that would make a good tutorial. It would also teach how and when you can turn on and off your procedural animations. Because you don't always want your character to be trying to touch a nearby wall when they're in a fight for their life.

Thank you so much for this video, great intro into procedural animations. I previously saw a video of how to do a ragdoll effect on another channel in unity, but it was a bit of work swapping between the pre-built animation and then the ragdoll effect. Is there a way to use procedural animation to simulate a ragdoll effect, where all limbs just collapses at the same time with maybe a force pushing it backwards?

4:43 Say if you want to do your animations in Unity itself, like animating FPS hands. I can create the rig and the constraints, but can I record/key frame them into new animations using the rigging tools to pose them into keyframes? I think you may have mentioned that you need to have the Animation window in Preview mode to actually pose the character with the rigging toolset? Insight on this would be grateful. Thanks
