So that mean's I don't have to do anything in Blender? Blender for me is really one big piece of shite. :/

The rig root was acting like a pelvis bone, so I parented the hands to the root, but after I did that the elbows would still move when I moved the rig root, so I parented the elbows to the root as well, and that fixed the problem, but now there's a new problem; whenever I move the hands, the elbows move properly but their controller is left where the elbows had started and don't move with the elbows. I tried a few different things and I have no idea how to fix it.

adjust the x,y,z select your models root and look at the transform gimbal you should see 3 colored arrows; red =' x', blue = 'z' and green ='y'. where each arrow is pointing is its positive direction. based on which direction your models knee/elbows are facing adjust the value in the window so its in front of it

Whenever i apply the rig it rotates the legs weirdly how do i fix it

have all the other bones be the child of the rig root

how to i set it up so that the rig root actually moves the model around, for some reason it moves but the model doesn't

You have no idea how much this helps with a new animator!

@Rammzys, pardon my question, but what are doing that needs 99 bones o-o

Can you return the misc option? i want to manually limb bone like before

can you add jiggle bones?

You're a godsend my friend, appreciate the quick response!

it is just add this line, without the quotes, " self.bonenum.setMaximum(999) " at line 2305. you can use a code editor like notepad++

Hi! This tool was super helpful, but was wondering if it was possible to increase the bone limit past 99?

It didn't fix it

try to see if validating sfm files fixes the issue.

multiple, I've tried with a bunch of them

is this happening with only one model or multiple models?

nope none of the models I've tried have special ones unless you count underscores

does the model have any special characters in its name or bone names?

TraceBack (most recent call last) :
File "<string>", line 2478, in <lambda>
File "<string>", line 2213, in main
TypeError: must be unicode, not str

^^ That's the error that shows up

does an error show up in the console when that happens?

Whenever I click 'create script' no rig is made, it used to work but now it doesn't

This thing is so restrictive. I need to select spine0 so I can rig the pelvis but for some reason it's giving me a bone that doesnt exist. It has pelvis, spine0, spine1, neck and head. But for some reason it has spine1 and spine2 and there isnt even a spine2 on the model!

The most confusing thing I have ever used....

Life savior, thank you!

nvm solved it, i just unsubbed in the app, i guess there was a disagreement between that and the site

aight this is glitched 4 me, whenever i sub, i get a message to download from workshop, which i accept, but its not there. and when i unsub it doesnt even give me a message to remove...
only this item
nothing else

the video is gone. Does anyone know if they have a guide or a video tutorial?

Can this work with Strider from HL2? His skeleton is very different from other creatures, i don't know how to make a rig for him. Because I need 3 leg bones, not 2.

I found a bug that occurs when you delete two entries of "other bones", creating a new entry after that will cause it to overlap with the bottom entry. I can recreate the issue pretty easy, happened twice while I was setting up a model.

A work around is saving your progress and loading the script up again.

How do I make an independent hip bone for my model? Like, to have the hips move independently of the pelvis IK rig, for hip adjustments.

first default your model. then select your models root and look at the transform gimbal you should see 3 colored arrows; red =' x', blue = 'z' and green ='y'. where each arrow is pointing is its positive direction. based on which direction your models knee/elbows are facing adjust the value in the window so its in front of it. you probably have to play with the numbers a few times to find the right offset.

How do I set up the offset so that the elbows and knees don't bend awkwardly? I'm making a rig for a humanoid form with 4 arms.

if there are more than 3 bones in the arm or leg, sfm cant rig it. you can only rig the first half or the second half of the limb.

When making the limbs part, some models have a second bone in the hand, and the script ends up using that bone instead of the right one, and the arms can't be moved

i mean "other bone"

hmmm.... well that sounds a bit like anything that should be done automatically for anything that isn't an extra limb, right?

every other bones needs to be parented to that root bone for it to work

whenever i make a root bone, it acts as a pelvis. whats the deal here?

6 bone arm? Hmmm....

if there are more than 3 bones in the arm or leg, sfm cant rig it. you can only rig the first half or the second half of the arm.

I have a problem with rigs. I have a model that was made with 6 bones for the arm and I don't know how to do it

Alright, guess I'll try that.

if there are more than 3 bones in the leg, sfm cant rig it. you would need to cheat a bit and make the ankle the foot and have the foot act like a toe.

Is there any way to manually choose the knee bones? I'm rigging a dinosaur model and the script chose its ankles as the knees.

yes

So, can this rig models with more than one neck bone?

I get it... And thanks answering again!

sfm can only rig limbs that only have three bones in them. so theres no real way to rig a long chain limb in sfm.

Thanks for answering. I have one more question. I managed to assemble rig on the spider model. But he has 6 bones in simble. And it turns out that the limbs interact with the body (if you move only half). Is there a way to manipulate the entire limb in rig?
