Sakura's Blender Rig Interface

About Sakura's Rig Interface

The Rig Interface extension is an API extension which provides utilities for working with and creating new and using Python based rig interfaces such as those found in use by my own SACR project, Endertainer's MCS2 rig, Timy's Character Rig V7, and several other advanced rigs. This addon is created in Blender's Python API and included operators include:

  • Image Management Operators
  • Rename Rig Operator
  • Skin Downloading Utility
  • An open file Operator

This extension is very much an ongoing project, and will continue to get new features alongside releases of different rigs by Sakura, namely the Advanced Character Rig, of which this extension is packaged with the UI's for.

What's the plan for the future?

As mentioned, this project is ongoing, and has no end in sight. Eventually I want to integrate the ability to easily add UI scripts as well as many more utilities useful for Minecraft based creations within Blender. A portion of that goal has already been realized, as it is extremely easy to add existing, already built UI's into the addon as tested with Ace The Bird's Elgania Rig prototype.
