Mindbender has shared a short breakdown of a rig the team created for the project called The Food Thief. The goal here was to create a more flexible solution, so the studio decided to use “sliding body parts that could be turned on or off between the different poses.” 

The Foodthief is a shortfim project that is currently under development by Mindbender Animation Studio. We made it a goal for ourselves to create a more flexible 3D rig than anything we had done before. The solution became a rig with sliding body parts that could be turned on or off between the different poses. The rig was created with the help of the brilliant minds at Kippcase rigging studio.
