Hm, yea that makes sense. Thankyou, but im still having problems with the rig staying inside the geometry, i think its because ive just made a mess of it, as im new to this im not sure how to prepare my nodes for things like this, also not sure if my hierarchy is correct - perhaps someone could take a look at what i have?

Ive attached my current hypergraph, im testing with just my rig and basic geometry to try and get it working. (it is a four legged character, but it is quite simply put together). Again any advice or if you can just give me some understanding of what im aiming for it is much appreciated.

Thanks for the feedback!
