Mmmh, I have to admit that rigging is not on my radar atm. There should have a few good tutorial (not that many) though, for the basic of IK. And I think I've see some big prods working with rigs in Houdini as described here https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__vimeo.com_222707484&d=DwIFaQ&c=76Q6Tcqc-t2x0ciWn7KFdCiqt6IQ7a_IF9uzNzd_2pA&r=GmX_32eCLYPFLJ529RohsPjjNVwo9P0jVMsrMw7PFsA&m=VjVYPMqcEtT0rAui_UWcp9nTKpMooXt3SwdUnuoE7Wc&s=xaXNedVGnj6dRaER6UOahpQE2rQb6yrymw_0tWaBlLY&e= by Michael Goldfarb (I haven't watched the hole lecture). But overal you're right Mirko.
