Hive uses templates as our prebuilt presets for starting to rig your characters. The new Zoo 2.6.2 comes with new look templates and components.
The newly added biped is ready to go and better control designs for all existing templates too.
Components are our rig parts/modules and templates are multiple parts added together. For example our arm template is a vchain component with five fk chains.
Any rig can be saved as a template and all controls are saved as well, so you can quickly build a library of your own rigs with different componets, proportions and styles too.
