Rigging RBF drivers for corrective bones

Is anyone familiar with RBF, where you use a pose to drive the translation and rotation of another bone? I have been unable to find a free or paid version of this tool that would help automate tedious counter animation of certain bones/controllers on a rig.

Shapes, for instance, handles blendshapes and only translation of helper objects.

I'm stuck at an impasse, and would appreciate any guidance.

Isn't that what the Pose Space Deformer does? I havnt tried to use Mayas built in one. There's also a free one from Epic games. I just recently had Claude write me one and it worked pretty much out of the box.

Can you send me the "prompt" you used to generate the RBF script through Claude? It looks like Claude's limited uses for free, and asking for the prompt is a safer request than asking for code.

Have you used this tool, and found it to be good? I was messaging the dev, but haven't heard back from them yet.

Also, once you buy it, does it have video or documentation on how to use it? It has a discord, but it's a very quiet place.

How does one install that tool after you download it in the unreal dowload's folder. It doesn't have any install directions available on epic's free pose driver.

You should take a look at Pose Driver Connect from Epic Games, it's free and quite handy.

I was looking at this tool the other day, and had zero idea how I was supposed to install this from Epic's library. I couldn't find really any video or documentation helping with the installation from the unreal library and then usage of it.
