According to one implementation, an animation system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing a software code. The hardware processor executes the software code to receive pose data including rig control values for multiple animation rigs, and to store the rig control values for each animation rig in respective rig control caches identified with the animation rig. The hardware processor also executes the software code to receive constraint data linking one animation rig to one rig control cache identified with any animation rig, receive change data for one rig control value of that linked animation rig, update the rig control value based on the change data, and clear the rig control cache linked with the updated animation rig. Thus, updating any rig control value of an animation rig results in clearing rig control caches linked with that animation rig.
