    I have bought this addon very recently and all i'm going to say is that it's a marvelous must have rigging addon and a huge time saver. As i am writing this, i am looking for an answer for only one question of mine. Is there anyway i could use this addon and rig multiple eyes? For example 5 eyes as one of my characters has such amount of eyes however i can't seem to find any solution when it comes to this addon and rigging multiple eyes with it. Could something like this be implemented into the addon any time in the future or is there a way to do it and i'm just not noticing it?

      Hello Patrick, thanks for rating. Yes, adding more than two eyes is possible by either adding custom bones, or adding multiple heads and enabling only a pair of eyes per head. Then the eye_offset_ref bones can be parented to the main head bone, and the duplicated head can be hidden.

    Great tool, I got it to make exporting to UnrealEngine & able to use the UE5 skeleton.

    It worked flawlessly!

    The devs are also responsive to questions and happy to help with any issues you may have.

    Hey guys i just wanted to make a small suggestion, I've been using your addon for a long time now. I also recently started using the addon "Human Generator". I've tried to remap a rig from Mixamo onto a character from Human generator and i've found a solution on youtube but they use a custom preset under the "imports" section under remap. it would be super helpful if you guys could add this into the official addon seeing as how theres already remap presets supporting other 3rd party softwares. still 5/5 though.

    Retargeting became easy with this addon. Can't work without it.

    I have to rate it 5 stars because it's a really useful addon.

    The only problem is the lack of official video tutorials. I had to search on YT for weight painting, for example. The documentation is pretty thin, I understand that rigging, skinning is very complex but a potential buyer should see how to weight paint the mesh to deform correctly, because it doesn't always work like the official mesh after the rig.

    This was my case, I chose the first mesh to rig and I had problems with clothes deformations, and I found out how to weight paint the clothes after the CG Dive tutorial ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvjq7C9BbAQ ).

    So hopefully we will see some good official videos in the future because that would help more the users. Again, very useful addon, congrats. Cheers!

      Thank you Nic! CGDive is definitely making very relevant tutorials for Auto-Rig Pro, I hope he'll keep it up!

    I used it well until version 3.5, but it doesn't seem to work after 3.6. It probably doesn't work from installation. Are there any updates planned? Or should I downgrade to version 3.5?

      There are no known compatibility issues with Blender 3.6 currently (some have been fixed in the latest release, make sure to download and install it when using Blender 3.6). If the problem persists, please send a bug report ("Ask a Question" button at the right of this page). If the bug is reproducible and confirmed, that will be fixed as soon as possible!

    VERY powerful plugin. Very easy to use. And the author was very helpful and responsive. I can't picture doing character work without these tools. Great job Artell!

    Autorigpro is great ! been using it for years now. The 1 thing I would love to see and feel it really needs is an IK switch from World / Root/ Chest. So as you move a character around, the IK hands follow the torso like FK, but you can control them like IK if you need to.

      Thanks for rating jourdan! You can set this up by adding ChildOf constraints to IK controllers, then use the ChildOf switcher:

    5 stars without a doubt. The best rigging product you can buy for Blender. Let me tell you my experience:
    At first, I had an idea about rigging, but I was far away of being studio quality (as I dreamed to do). It was such a headache to work with other rigging tools, like Rigify, even with all the tutorials in the world. I felt like I would never be able to do a professional looking animation (like in Maya, for example). And when I saw all the features of ARP, I saved some money and finally bought it. It was a life change.
    Rigs are fast and easy to do. Facial rig is amazing. Finger ik, sticky lips, etc, worked like a charm. I’ve never had a problem with weight painting.
    BUT, it was a challenge to do the shapekeys at first, (I was doing something wrong). But the developer answered, and after a few days he discovered what was happening, and my problem solved. I could make all the stylized shapekeys I wanted.
    I’m starting to make the best animations in my life, studio quality as I wanted. And it wasn’t hard to achieve.
    I highly recommend this addon for people working in game industry, TV, or even hobbyist like me that wish to have a smooth Dreamworks quality project.
    The only thing I would argue about this addon is that, yes, there is an online guide, and some tutorials on youtube, but they’re not advanced tutorials at all. They teach you just the basic. If you want a professional project, or very specific things/actions for your character, you need a deep detailed video. I would suggest A LOT of new videos of “how to do x thing”, that would be really helpful. That every time there’s a new feature, there’s also a new video showing how to achieve that.
    As I said, I highly recommend this product. It’s worth it. Thanks for everything!
