Thoughts on using the Character Wizard

I'm brand new to Anime Studio Pro and of course find the character wizard helpful, but I was wondering how others used it. I have created some characters and then edited them to my needs and have been pretty happy about that. Any tips on doing this, what alterations work best in combination with the wizard models, how to alter them effectively? I appreciate getting basic walking, jumping etc. but would like to switch out eyes, hands and other things. Anyhow getting all the views and everything set up and then altering the character to my needs seems preferable o creating a new rig every time I start something. It would be cool if i could incorporate my own artwork into the various pickers so I could create custom eye sets and stuff and have them available when using the wizard. Anyhow I would appreciate to hear some thoughts on this :)

I prefer building my own rigs from scratch using smart bones, but CW can be useful particularly if you want something quick or if you're a non-artist.

This is perfect, thanks! So I now understand how to add content to the wizard, so if I create eye and hand sets etc. I can easily reuse them with a canned character. I'm going to delve into this a bit more, I really appreciate the link!
