  And here this guy just saved my life once again, I got a job the guy goes "here you go, my rig, is fully functional! you can animate with this." Me: "Oh great, you save me a lot of work" I receive a broken ue4 skeleton... fastforward to now and in 5 clicks I got a fully functioning rig to work with. Whatever this guy will make from here, I'll be there buying all the stuff.

  ARP is great, rigging something from scratch is made so much easier. The additional addon I bought on launch and it was handy but hadn't really tested it fully until the DAZ preset came out. This opens up a world of possibilities to me now...

  I bought ARP so I could rig (among other things), DAZ models and have a consistent rig across my own and imported models. From a workflow perspective, in DAZ I can quickly tweak different body shapes and builds to vary a character etc. I'd then import into blender and delete the bones, starting from scratch so I had a functional animation ready rig. Weight painting and tweaking still took a long time though and tbh, I was still tweaking the weights weeks into the project. It's not my favorite bit, it's an art unto itself.

  Now though, using Quick Rig and converting a DAZ character to an ARP rig you get to keep all the weight painting work they put in. It's a bigger jump than the time saved in rigging manually and for that I'm buying an extra one to say thanks.

  Wishlist stuff - a similar one click type function to also convert the facial rigging (actually the DAZ bones left in for mouth and around the eyes are mostly fine for tweaking) but it would be nice to get the eyes and look-at-controller sorted and the mouth out of the box. As it stands, I can probably setup most of the facial rigging given some experimentation but it won't match the ARP rig controllers I like unless I can find a way to get it to generate or copy those bones shapes from another rig.

  Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks, this is one of those addons that transforms your usage. Also the developer is really friendly and helpful as others have also found.

  If you're the type of user who regularly imports models from other games/software and wish to get every vertex groups properly renamed, IK'd up and ready to be posed in Blender, then this add-on pretty much lets you skip the entire conversion process, saving you hours of work.

  The only disadvantage with this add-on being is that it's a complementary feature to Auto-Rig and not a stand-alone one. But if you've got the means to also get Auto-Rig and have no problems using it, then do yourself a favor and also get this one for your model conversion needs.

  Words can't describe how powerful this addon is!

  Within one minute you can turn already existing (humanoid) armature into a fully operational RIG with all the features Auto-Rig Pro provides*

  *Note, some of the functionality is not yet implemented but supported in a basic way
