Pipeline 1 - Facial Rigging Part 5 Issue @Alan

I had an issue when doing the phoneme blend shapes tutorial, the shapes that I connected In caused the whole head to come forward slightly when they are turned on. I'm not sure If I did something wrong when connecting them, I made sure to reset the blendshape tool and set it to front of chain.

Pipeline 1 - Character Rigging Part 1

I managed to some how break one of the character legs during skinning, so the leg would straighten whenever I applied an IK to it, after a bit of exploring I found a fix for it. I had to set the preferred angle of the joint and that remedied the issue. So after a bit of fighting the lower half of the character is rigged.
