In this Blender 2.7 Tutorial #86 I cover:

- How to Use the Mesh Deform Modifier to rig a character in a more flexible way that allows for:
- The addition of more armatures & bones to allow for facial (face) expression & squash & stretch.
- Allow for easy adding/swapping of clothes to a rigged character
- Also I cover using Bone Envelopes (an alternative to parenting a mesh 'with automatic weights' to an armature)
