Never model the same character twice

Skip to 0:55 if you are a blender pro.
Run this script in step seven:
import bpy
obj = bpy.context.active_object
if obj and obj.type == 'MESH':
for vg in obj.vertex_groups:
vg.name = "DEF-" + vg.name

Caveats:
- I deleted the face bones for the metarig because I use shape keys instead. Make sure to delete the bone named “face” as well if you're doing the same.
- Rigify has extra bones in the arms and legs for rubberhose limbs; this method doesn't give them any influence. You’ll have to re-weight these yourself.
- It’s best that the arm bones have minimal weights on the shoulders and the thigh bones on the hips so they don’t push inside the body.
- You might end up with two armature modifiers on your mesh. Keep the one parented to the rig only.
