'''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. | '''BlenderOni''' is a [[Blender]] add-on intended as an integral companion tool for the [[Using_the_Rigify_animation_rig|Animation rig for Blender]].

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. | 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.

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. | Those scripts have become obsolete with the introduction of BlenderOni, which is essentially little more than those scripts wrapped into a GUI.

==Tutorial video== | |||
BlenderOni has its own tutorial video, with the Options explained in Part 2, and Use cases explained in Part 3. | |||
The video can be accessed [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pA_Y8QBCvPI HERE]. | |||
==Use cases== | |||
Since BlenderOni is a companion tool for the Rigify-Oni rig, explanation of its intended usage is in the rig documentation, available [[Using_the_Rigify_animation_rig|HERE]]. | |||

===Constrain Character Model=== | ===Constrain Character Model=== | ||
On the selected Oni character model, creates a set of Copy Location and Copy Rotation constraints targeting a specified rig. Effectively constrains the selected Oni character model to the specified rig. '''Can be used in any object interaction mode.''' | |||
If any of the model objects already contain any constrains, BlenderOni will output an error, and the user should clear all constraints in the selected objects. | |||
