The rig seems to be a bit broken in blender 2.8. UI elements of the rig seems to be missing. Is there a workaround for this?
Maybe ask @waylow Wayne Dixon since he is the animation expert.
If you got some mula there is a decent asset on the blender market called AutoRigPro. I bought it because I have over a dozen characters that I need to animate. I’m hoping it cuts down on the time.
Ok I fixed the 2D baker rig for you zzeddekiahsmith
