After a month of working on this pose helper and sharing its progress, I'm really excited to finally share it to you all 🙌
As the name suggests, this custom rig aims to improve upon the default rig, taking ideas from setups used for games & animations to make it simpler and easier to use! Its purpose is to provide you with new features while keeping the original rig functional.
This rig is an active project, so your feedback is very much welcomed and appreciated 😁 they will help in improving this rig further. You can send them via an ask, a reply to this post, or via this Google Form. Questions/suggestions over DMs will not be answered as they are harder to track.
Info & TOU
Don't re-upload the rig & claim as yours! And certainly no paywalling of any kind.
Don’t redistribute/reupload/repost all files.
Do credit me if you use the rig for your pose creations :]
Documentation and download link under cut.
📄 Full documentation 🔗
Available for all ages (infant - toddler - child - adult sims). No occults & pets included yet.
Custom bone shapes & colors to make distinguishing, selecting, and controlling bones easier, as opposed to the default shape that overlaps with one another and are hard to select.
Added various custom drivers and bone constraints which is used for moving several bones at once, locking certain bone movements to prevent unnatural posing, and much more.
New custom controllers to help automate certain processes (hand grip, slouching posture, eye target, to name a few).
FK on IK setup which allows you to quickly set a pose with the IK bones and fine tune poses with the FK bones.
Asset Browser to provide many things for your posing needs. You'll find furniture, sim models, and premade poses stored in the asset browser. See documentation for how to install.
Blender Add-on with useful features such as bone layers, posing tools, as well as custom properties that change the behaviour of the rig (height slider being one of them).
Future plans
Extend rig QoL improvements to occults and pets.
Expand Asset Browser's catalog (particularly for poses with props/accessories).
Adjust existing pose assets for other ages.
