Now its time to start rigging so we start to make the character node which is an essential part of starting off a new rig.

The character node is just a hierarchy of groups, much like a folder structure to hold your music but for rigging it holds similar rigging components in there own groups. This way all the joints are kept together, all the IK's and control's and so on.

This will save a huge amount of time later on as keeping things in a structured order will help avoid any errors and will make it extremely easy to edit and find parts of the rig.
