Rig Generation & Rigging Workflow Tools.
Add-on by Blender Studio
About What's New Permissions Reviews Version History
The whale from the cancelled open movie Gold, rigged with CloudRig. (The shards are unrelated) The interface of this character's left arm rig component. The UI of a complex metarig. A pie menu for parenting bones, that also works fine in pose mode. Bound to P by default, and works in Edit, Pose, and Weight Paint modes. A pie menu for selecting bones that relate to the active one, or just by searching for it by name. Bound to Alt+D by default, and works in Edit, Pose, and Weight Paint modes. If any of the add-on's hotkeys get in the way for you, you can change or disable them in the preferences.

CloudRig is a rig generation add-on for Blender, developed by the Blender Studio for our Open Movies, starting with CoffeeRun in 2020.

CloudRig lets you save time by creating helper bones, constraints, and drivers for you, based on some basic inputs. These inputs are provided in the form of a simple armature, called a Metarig. You can learn more about this process on the wiki.

It also comes with some (optional) workflow enhancements, like various pie menus and improved operators.

If you enjoy CloudRig, consider supporting the Blender Studio, and give a rating!
