The gear_mc guides to rig generate fine. I havent noticed any issues in the rig itself. There are problems with the controller colours upon generation but you can change these.
Using gear_mc with old rigs - are you asking if you regenerated a guide, would it be ok? As far as I have tested, yeah, it'll be fine. Naming seems to be the same so no problems with animation transfer. -The new Eye component never really worked for me. I didn't really stick with it as there are a lot of 'tweaking sliders' associated with it that I though would slow down the rig. -The Jaw component works great! -The brow component doesnt work or I generated it incorrectly every time. -The simple ik/fk chain component never worked either. Always generated in a strange fashion. Not to be confused with the 2 bone arm chain, that works! That's all I can remember.
