'''BlenderOni''' is a [[Blender]] add-on intended as an integral companion tool for the [[Using_the_Rigify_animation_rig|Animation rig for Blender]]. It contains functionalities that automate a lot of operations necessary for the rig to function and be used properly. However, the vast majority of the add-on's options can also be used for general Blender tasks.

When the Rigify-Oni rig was first released to the public, it was meant to be used together with a number of scripts stored within the Blender scene containing the rig. However, those scripts were not ideal - they were awkward to use as setting up the appropriate values was possible only by changing the script code.

Those scripts have become obsolete with the introduction of BlenderOni, which is essentially little more than those scripts wrapped into a GUI. The scripts are nonetheless archived [[Blender/Obsolete scripts|HERE]] for legacy purposes.
