Also beware, rigify has stretch by default but you should turn it off for games, because if you want stretch to work correctly, you need to parent parts of the stretchy limbs to the root or else you get double transformations down the chains. If that works, it’s ok but this means that rag-doll physics and procedural animations fail.
Thanks!
