Facts

Purpose
Rigify is an auto-rigging add-on that creates an armature by combining rig components through a metarig template.developer.blender.org · 4 Oct 2026
Workflow
Users position metarig bones to match a character and generate the rig from Blender’s Armature properties.docs.blender.org · 4 Oct 2026
Predefined metarigs
The manual lists Basic Human, Basic Quadruped, Human, Cat, Wolf, Horse, and Shark metarigs.docs.blender.org · 4 Oct 2026
Rig types
Bundled rig types cover components such as spines, limbs, fingers, faces, and skin rigs.docs.blender.org · 4 Oct 2026
Custom rigs
Users can add custom rig classes through feature set packages installed in the add-on settings.developer.blender.org · 4 Oct 2026
Rig generation
Rig generation duplicates the metarig, identifies the required rigs, creates rig instances, and runs their generation methods.developer.blender.org · 4 Oct 2026
Animation controls
The generated rig UI can switch visible bone collections, change custom properties, and convert between IK and FK.docs.blender.org · 4 Oct 2026
Customization
Rigify can run a user-provided Python text block after generation to apply customizations that remain repeatable after regeneration.docs.blender.org · 4 Oct 2026
Compatibility limitation
