Notes:

  • This rig is an advanced edit of the Thomas Rig by Thomas Animation, used with permission.
  • To use the original Minecraft textures, you must have a legal copy of Minecraft installed on your device (min. ver. 1.21.11). While fallback textures are available, they do not cover all textures.
  • The rig should only be moved in pose mode.

КАК УБРАТЬ ЭТУ ЧЕРТОВУ ГОЛОВУ

  • BlueEvilGFX replied

Hello Slumder,

if you do not want to use the floating head above the normal one you can delete it or hide it from the render. Normally you would use it for extrusions. But sometimes not.

Best regards BlueEvil
