by not_that_NDA in Addons

New Beta 2.0 *NEW* features

Rig UI 2.0 BETA - available for existing and new pro users in the downloads section.

One click IK/FK

Documentation

  • This is a highly configurable and dynamic system that will allow riggers to configure and make work almost any IK/FK system reliably.
  • The setup is as complex as the system is complete. But the basic mechanism is simple to understand, it will use pairs of bones to match certain transforms between them when swapping between IK and FK modes. This allows the limbs to perfectly match each other when changing between modes.


Parent Switcher

Documentation

  • Easily swap child parent influence on the fly between bones of an armature or with objects of the scene.
  • Animate the relationships or bake the animation to a different parent or none.
  • One click snapping keeping transformations and automatic keying.


Mask Modifiers

Documentation

  • Quickly access Mask Modifiers visibility for any object connected with the current armature from Rig UI.


Copy/Paste Global/Relative Transforms

  • Copy transforms (global or relative to other elements) between different bones or objects.
  • Paste the transforms over time or in the current frame with smart keyframes.
  • Copy/Paste through any (object or bone) constraints.


Rig UI Pro
