Rigify rigs are not well-suited for games. If you export a vanilla Rigify rig to a game engine it will bring along many unnecessary bones and a bad hierarchy.
In this video, I show a workflow to make any Rigify rig ready for games. The process is very similar to my previous video (« How to make existing rigs game-ready ») but I also show some Rigify specific techniques and pitfalls.
As always the workflow complies with the « game-ready principle » that I explained in the previous chapters.
