Parts of this video are obsolete as we developed "Game Rig Tools": an addon that automates the creation of a deform rig/game rig based on an existing Control Rig.
You can still watch this video for a basic understanding of what the addon does.
After that, you can watch this video which introduces Game Rig Tools.

In this video, I show a workflow that will help you convert any existing rig into a game-ready one. I demonstrate the process on 3 different and random rigs to show that the process works "across the board".
This workflow complies with the "principle" I explained in the previous chapter

If you're interested in Rigify this process will work almost perfectly for Rigify rigs as well. With a few tiny exceptions and differences. In the next video, I'll show the exact workflow for Rigify.

I hope this is useful!
