Description
In no special order, my favourite tutorials are as follows. I have marked paid tutorials as $ (cheap) or $$ (expensive), but this isn't a judgment on their value. If they're here, I think they're worth having at the price I paid. $ is anything under about $7. $$ is say $8-40 (mostly $20). I haven't used $$$ yet, but if I do, it will be for the very expensive pro ones (say $40+).I also have many favourite DA tutorials (less well organised, sorry!) here: deslea.deviantart.com/favourit… and also tutorials of my own here: deslea.deviantart.com/gallery/…

DAZ Autofit
These Daz threads have good coverage, but note they aren't nicely finished tutorials per se.
Making auto-fit clones (mainly making the clone, including use of de-formers - the clone morph setting is at the end) www.daz3d.com/forums/viewthrea…

DAZ Rigging
The following are basic docos, not full tutorials, but for starters:
Rigging 1: docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public…
Rigging 2: docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public…
Rigging from scratch (say, for a non-human figure) relies on selection sets, which Hexagon doesn't seem to support. Blender has a plug-in that does it - wiki.blender.org/index.php/Ext… - which I'm still researching to learn to use.

A truly wonderful list, thanks for sharing. I don't think I've ever favorited a 'non art' post before, but this is great!
