My Blender UI scripting experience is limited to adding a button that runs a function, so I'd have to do some research on how to do the checkbox method. I don't think that making it the default in rigify is the way to go, as having the twist bones in the DEF rig might be useful for some people.
I personally think a check box would be more elegant. We'll see, I should have some time in this or the next week for testing. The UI shouldn't be a big deal at the end. As you know there are quite a few very friendly Blender developers out there.
Dantus , Mar 8, Hey niosop. I tested it in depth and I have to say it is pretty impressive for such a small change. I would like to make your idea production ready, such that it can be merged with the official Rigify. Are you interested in a collaboration? Dantus , Mar 11, Sure, will send you a PM now.
Rigify to Unity 1. Dantus , May 23, Ratings and reviews are highly welcome in the Asset Store.

I fear it won't work with Mecanim due to the bone hierarchy of Rigify. I spent some time to work on that but it quickly turned out to be a major undertaking.

The reason is that the hierarchy of the bones is modified in Rigify. I tried to find some workaround for it, but this is not a trivial task. So far it does not work.

I use Unity 4 Thank u in advance. TheBigE , Jan 15, I just made a quick test. It works for me without any issues. Further after the extraction of the example models, the one which contains Rigify in the name was properly imported and all the unneeded bones were removed.
You may try to download Rigify to Unity 1. Make sure you don't edit any of the files, rename folders or move the around in your project. If you start with an empty project and import it, there should be no issue at all, so you should get it to work in any project. Dantus , Jan 15, Joined: Jan 3, Posts: 4. The program is exactly what I have been looking for, but I have some issues in using it at the moment.
It might be my rigging as I deleted a finger from the standard rigify metarig or something. Etfaks , Feb 10, Dantus , Feb 10, I have been looking around but havent been able to locate and delete the keyframes, how would one go about doing this?
Any tips for getting the loading speed down? It's taking a long time loading my animation heavy blend files in unity, I think because of the complexity of the rig in the background. EiknarF , May 16, Dantus , May 16, I have updated the description in the Asset Store and the first post of this thread with the following clarification:.
Dantus , Aug 1, Joined: Sep 14, Posts: 5. Just found this article which describes how to use Rigify properly in conjunction with Mecanim. I haven't tested it yet, but it seems like doing this would allow for the system to work just fine with the skeletal structure that Rigify produces. ComboMash , Aug 30, AnomalusUndrdog likes this.

The article describes that several manual modifications are needed. Those ones can't be automated in general, such that it will also work with future versions. The advantage of Rigify is that you can easily animate in Blender.
With the described steps in the article, you loose that as far as I understand it. I tried something like that in the past but run into one major issue. My goal was that I wanted to leave the generated rig untouched in Blender and adjust it during the import into Unity. It was pretty straight forward, but all the animations were broken because of it.
From my point of view it would end up exactly like that again, because the underlying idea is identical. Dantus , Sep 6, Joined: Sep 7, Posts: 8. Hello, if there is still anybody who is interested in making rigify compatible with mecanim, you can check video embeded in comment below. There is a link in description to a script which makes it possible.
Nothing complicated, but I didn't find a way to do it during the import time which is the Rigify to Unity script doing , so you have to use it in blender.
Dantus, I hope it is not a problem that I've put this link here Last edited: Nov 1, Dantus , Nov 1, Thank you a lot for the comments I'm really sorry about the link, I didn't realize it I'm quite new to this forum About destroying the WGT As I was thinking how to get it into mecanim I figured out this approach, but I had still the strange feeling that I'm probably missing something with the DEF bones and why they are setup like that.
So it's good to know now, that there are other uses of rigify, not just human-like rig. Maybe when I will get more experience with it and will see all the possibilities I will try to find a different approach anyway Joined: Aug 26, Posts: Dantus, I'm interested in this add-on, but I had two questions.
This will make space for the generated rig controller, which is always created at 0, 0, 0. Lots of controls is great for posing…but terrible for performance.
This process is fairly manual, and unfriendly to large changes. Those more comfortable with scripting in Blender may find easier ways to accomplish this! Start by creating a new armature - this will be the basis of the export rig Which we'll call the "MeshDeformRig". Then rename the bones to match the metarig conventions.
Switch to Edit mode. Select a bone in the MeshDeformRig first, then the corresponding bone in the metarig. Repeat for each bone. Note: At this step you can decide whether the MeshDeformBone should actually have and deform values on the model. We still include match the transform to maintain the hierarchy. Once all of the bones have matching constraints, we can bind the model to the MeshDeformRig.
When you move the base rig, you should see the character move as well. Note: If you have any issues with binding, make sure that the Bone Roll values are matching or zeroed out.
Two different rigs means animations will live in two different places. Create a new action for this pose Here we're using the Action Editor window. The DefAll action will be the only clip we utilize in Unity.
To make exporting easier, we do a little file organization. Place the metarig and rig into their own collection, and the MeshDeformRig into another collection. For maximum compatibility, we export the characters using FBX. Attached is the list of export settings we use This involved a bit of trail and error.
