This rig was used for the production of "Mr. Herorbine's Singalong Tragedy", and was developed by Patrick W. Crawford (TheDuckCow).

================================================
THE WAY YOU SHOULD USE THIS RIG IS BY LINKING THE GROUP TO THE BLEND FILE YOU WANT TO USE IT IN
================================================
This rig uses FK/IK switching controls. The bone "UIrigCont" to the (rig's) right has the control sliders to switch each limb between FK and IK; I typically animate using inverse kinematics for legs and forward kinematics for arms, so this is the default "rest" configuration, but you can of course change it on the fly as necessary.
The bones of the rig are spread over 3 primary bone layers with varying levels of detail. I general would start animating with only the first layer visible, then adding the others to make the finer tuned adjustments.
The head is made to have independent rotation to the rest of the rig; this is a personal choice, as I think it allows to more easily make less rigid "keyframe-looking" animations - but if you want to re-enable rotation, select the neck bone, go to the single bone tab and select "inherent rotation".
The hair is controlled by an IK constraint. Though the hair was never actually simulated in the animation, the model is manifold and should be robust for simulating with minor adjustments.
If you mean that the model is a shade of pink then I think I know how to fix that. When you first download it and opened it, all the way to the Right, you should have a note from the maker and if you look to the left of it, you have a bunch of options like it says transform and stuff (if you don't see it, click on your keyboard "n" and it should open). Scroll to the bottom and look for shading and click on it to open a drop down menu. Then click on the thing saying, "Textured Solid" right below GLSL. Hope this helps :)
Not sure what issue you are encountering, I just re-downloaded it myself to check and in textured view I have colors in addition to in render view as well. What do you mean by messy exactly? What would you like me to try and fix?
Nice rig. This will be good for what I need. she won't be in the animation a lot (like only 5-10 seconds) but still a nice rig.
Got a little problem, it just doesn't have color, i mean after I rendered it did, but it's really messy in 3d view
