AutoRig

AutoRig

Auto Rig is a new and unique automatic rig for Blender, created by Samuel Bourland who has worked as a character TD at Walt Disney Animation.

In the creator’s words:

This rig grew out of a desire to streamline the process between sculpting and animating. Relegating the rigging process to a button and some touch up for details. It has robust face rig inspired by the rigs I used and created at Disney and AnimSchool. The body rig is solid and seems to work fairly well for a variety of body shapes.

While other auto-riggers aim to allow the user to rig “any character”, this addon comes with a pre-existing and pre-rigged human character mesh.

To modify the rig, you need to tweak the character mesh by creating a new shapekey. The addon will automatically update the rig to match the new proportions of the edited character mesh. This is a truly unique approach to auto rigging which I haven’t seen anywhere else.

The addon is free and comes in the form of a Blend file. Instructions for its usage are included inside the file.
