Mr Mannequins Tools

By

Mr Mannequins Tools (v 1.3) - Third major update of the add-on for Blender 2.8+ that gives the ability to export animations and weighted meshes that are directly compatible with the third person mannequin without re-targeting anything in Unreal Engine! Even more bugs and issues have been solved and some new features have been added!

Now contains:

- an animation ready mannequin rig with female bones and other various rigging features

- an animation ready first person gun and bow rig (more rigging features at some point)

- an accurate Blender version of the mannequin and gun materials

- all mannequin, femmequin, gun and bow meshes

- a detailed pose interface with some useful rigging options

- a new WIP custom character mapping system (retargeting within Blender)

- a modular rigging system that works with any mapped character (my rigging where you want it)

- a basic socket system for any object (still more to come on this)

- the mother of all FBX export scripts (improved animation export code)

- the father of all FBX import scripts (improved animation import code)

Plenty more to come including advanced mutilation rigging options, mannequin themed weapon and animal templates amongst other rigged meshes, further modular rigging options, automatic IK vs FK switching and character creation tools :)
