* '''[[BlenderOni|BlenderOni]]''' - this Blender addon is an integral companion tool for this rig - it contains a number of scripts which automate a lot of operations required to make any use out of the rig. Without those scripts, these operations (e.g. constraining the model to the rig and vice versa) would have to be done manually, which takes a ridiculous amount of time. | |||

* [http://mods.oni2.net/node/38 '''Current version of OniSplit.'''] This is the tool needed to import and export assets out of Oni. '''DO NOT USE OniSplit GUI or Vago for importing Oni assets into Blender''' - neither of these weren't updated in a long time, and thus they don't support OniSplit's v0.9.99.2 -blender option. You can still use them for other purposes though, such as sounds and converting .oni files to XMLs, etc. | * [http://mods.oni2.net/node/38 '''Current version of OniSplit.'''] This is the tool needed to import and export assets out of Oni.

* [http://oni.bungie.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=23230#p23230 '''Brief overview on creating TRAMs'''] by EdT - while this was written with XSI in mind, this is still relevant as the process for preparing the XML files for Oni is still the same. Also the next post in that thread, called '''Brief walk through on modifying a TRAM,''' is an example of that overview put into practice. | * [http://oni.bungie.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=23230#p23230 '''Brief overview on creating TRAMs'''] by EdT - while this was written with XSI in mind, this is still relevant as the process for preparing the XML files for Oni is still the same.

* [https://cmder.net/ '''Cmder'''] (Windows only) - because OniSplit is a command line tool, it is highly recommended to get any upgrade to Windows' Command Prompt. As shown in the screenshot on the right, Cmder allows you to start it from the context menu in any selected folder, and it also remembers your most recently used commands, vastly improving your workflow when you're forced to use any command line tools. | |||
* [https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/2.81/addons/rigging/rigify.html '''Rigify'''] - it's a plugin for Blender designed to automate a lot of rigging work. The rig described here is generated using Rigify. Take a look if you're interested and want to learn more, but you don't have to know Rigify's documentation to use this rig. | |||
