You will find it, as with most complicated things in maya that it's a pain in the arse to begin with but the more you do it the more you will get used to it and the reasoning and flexability behind it!

If you can could you please post the results of if it worked for you mainly because it's been a while since I've done it myself so I was not completely confident with how I actually did it! I know I got the main elements but if you come up to any probs start postin it should hopefully job me memory! I hope!
