RubberHose is a 2D rigging tool that draws bendy lines based on the comp position of controllers, but it is possible to move the controllers around in 3D space. This adds a level of complexity but can be appropriate for certain shots. For this, the ends of each hose were rotated in 3D around a center point. The bend direction of the arms and legs and was adjusted manually along with a trim paths for the top of the legs. Old fashioned matting and layering was used for the body and arm overlap.
