7. You will have 4 icons appearing in a puppetSoul shelf

8. This 4 icons are :

• soul Build : the rig builder. The most important part of puppet soul
• sool Tools : a daily tool box for rigger. There is special features there, and some really trivials too. You can choose to you the toolBox or not, it's you choice.
• sool Dyna : The dynamic system of puppetSoul. This system is focus on animators, so it's not a charFx tool, but it's mostly use for secondary animation (overlaps for instance). This is just an external UI or modules available in soulBuild.
• SoulLibrary : a animation/poses/selection library. This datas can be shared through a team, organised in character/categories, data can be shared though maya files, or similar credatures sharing some properties (like name objects)
