Generate Bones Automatically with This Blender Add-On

If you're struggling with bones in your rigs or just want to save some time, try duss_katate's free Blender add-on that generates bones from the mesh's edges and faces.

The system looks simple enough: you choose where you want the bones to be, and in a couple of clicks, they are created along the selected lines. The tool works on curved surfaces as well.

Here are the modes you will find there:

• Edge mode: Generates bones from selected edges
• Face mode: Generates bones from selected continuous faces
• Specify the direction of child bones
• Manually specify the number of bones
• Automatic parent-child connection option

This is something duss_katate uses in their workflow to create impressive character designs, which you can find on X/Twitter:
