Great work! Surely all of us developers appreciate this!

This is awesome, thank you!

Be sure to check the description above! It's been 3 month and there have been minor patches to the rig!

[@Andrey3Ds]

good work!

[@Derdy29]

Good video)

[@gabrielurtado6317]

Great video! What if I want to add some custom rigify bones(like tail for example), would it work?

[@klidoes3d]

Yep, you can introduce additional bones to Manny, then adding more controls in Rigify to drive them. The setup I support in this little package are 1:1 for Manny, since the name map in the script are for Manny only. You can still follow the same concept to expand upon your own rigs.

hi,this video is great~ i just wonder how to replace my custom character into this rig you created?

[@fotuoh]

Import your character to the SKM_Manny file, and then transfer weights from Manny to your custom character. Royal Skies made a video about this rig worth checking out!

[@klidoes3d]

This is a long form video I recorded b/c someone else asked a similar question. Take a look, and it should cover what you need. It is going to stay unlisted as it is not as compact. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4irmGpje7t4gck

Sorry, I’m not the best at rigging, I want to understand a bit better. Are you saying we rig the model using the meta rig, then run the code to create the binds, and then from there the model will use the UE5 rig because of the code. And we can control the UE5 rig with the control rig to make animations?

[@klidoes3d]

You can replace the skeletal mesh in SKM_Manny. As long as the Armature/Skeleton is still there, whatever skeletal mesh you bind to the Armature/Skeleton can be driven by the existing setup. All example animations will also be reflected on your own character.

@@klidoes3d thank you

[@Z_Rawl]

I love this! How do I export and import it into UE5 to replace it with the original Manny? I can't get it to work in Lyra

[@klidoes3d]

Any animation you export with this, with the X & -Y setting for the armature, should work with Lyra. Upon import, be sure to select their Skeleton, and the animation will register as a usable animation.
