How do I add a custom bone to a rig? For example a weapon bone that's a child of a hand bone.

Please have a look at this YouTube tutorial I made.

How can I append or link a rig into my scene?

First of all, for both methods make sure that in the Outliner your model is placed within the root collection of your rig.

  • Appending (creating a copy of the rig):
    File > Append > browse to the rig file on your computer and double-click it > Collection > select the root collection of the rig (the one with only the name of the rig, so NOT the collections rigname_cs and rigname_grp_rig) > Append.

  • Linking (creating a reference to the rig source file):
    - File > Link > browse to the rig file on your computer and double-click it > Collection > select the root collection of the rig (the one with only the name of the rig, so NOT the collections rigname_cs and rigname_grp_rig) > Link
    - Object Mode > Object > Relations > Make Library Override
    - Note that you can’t edit a linked rig. You will need to do that in the rig source file.

Please be aware that in Blender a rig can reference only one action. So when you bring in a rig (through appending or linking) that contains multiple animations,  it will only contain the action that is active in the original rig file.

Some channels in the Graph Editor give an error.

This happens when you change the amount of bones in a limb to a SMALLER amount of bones. The channels of the bones that have been removed will still be present in the Graph Editor and give an error. You can simply select all these channels and delete them.

Do you have a list with the specific animations?

  1. Allosaur - walk
  2. Apatosaurus - walk
  3. Bear - walk
  4. Bird - fly
  5. Cat - walk
  6. Cow - walk
  7. Crab - walk
  8. Dog - idle, trot, run, dig
  9. Dolphin - swim
  10. Dragon - fly
  11. Duck - walk
  12. Elephant - walk
  13. Giraffe - walk
  14. Gorilla - walk
  15. Horse - gallop
  16. Human - walk, run
  17. Kangaroo - jump
  18. Lizard - walk
  19. Mouse - run
  20. Ostrich - run
  21. Pig - trot
  22. Shark - swim
  23. Snake - slither
  24. Spider - walk
  25. Turtle - walk
Why are the rigs animated on 30fps and not 24fps?

Because all the rigs have been setup with export to a game engine (Unreal/Unity) in mind. A frame rate of 30fps is the standard for game animation.

How can I turn on stretchy arms/legs for my rig?

Stretchy arms/legs are turned off by default in order for the rigs to be game engine compatible. 

But these are the steps to turn on stretchy arms/legs:

  • Stretchy FK arms/legs
    Pose Mode > select the hand/foot controller > Tool tab > adjust the Stretch Length (FK) value.

  • Stretchy IK arms/legs
    Pose Mode > select the hand/foot controller > Tool tab > adjust the Stretch Length (IK) value.

    Alternatively, you can turn on the Auto Stretch property. When you move the hand/foot IK controller, the arm/leg will automatically stretch.
The animations of the rig are suddenly gone in the Action Editor.

Make sure to turn on the Fake User shield for all the actions of a rig.
When you don't turn on Fake User for the actions, it can happen that Blender will remove them when re-opening the .blend file.

  • 25 rigs + 29 animations
