ProdPad Dot 2.5d Animation Rig

Here is a new rig I created for animating the mascot characters of ProdPad, the Dots. Super excited to replace my old rig with this one in animations moving forward.

Without faces you'd think there's not much to be done, but I've automated the shadow, squash and stretch, and the inertia, and the hands and arms are calculated in 3d before being mapped to the 2d shape. Everything in contained within a single shape layer, but can reference other layers for the hand positions.
