Rig Builder uses a pre-defined settings .json file and rigging .json files together to quickly apply Region Markup to a new character skeleton based on joint naming conventions. Any skeleton joints that match the naming of joints within settings_default.json will be auto setup and rigged without manually defining Regions.

This can become particularly useful for automating partial character setup, for example, having a Rig Builder template for the core joints of bipedal characters that could be applied to any alien/creature that has the same core joints.

• Build Template - Applies the selected rig template to a character in the scene.

  • If Helix Rigger is open Rig Builder will apply rigging to the active character in the Helix Rigger UI

  • If Helix Rigger is closed Rig Builder and there is only 1 character in the scene rigging will be applied to that character automatically

    • If there are multiple characters in the scene Rig Builder will apply to the character based on which character the user has selected in the scene.
