But that's not all... Mr Mannequins Tools has grown far beyond its original purpose and now includes a wide set of tools for working with characters in Blender.

Alongside the core Manny and Quinn import/export workflow, you'll find tools for:

• Fast, high-quality character rigging
• Custom character compatibility
• Armature, mesh and animation retargeting
• Mesh orientation for socket attachments
• Weighting and shape keys
• Mannequin-themed templates for prototyping
• General Blender To Unreal workflow utilities

The goal is simple: import your assets into Blender, edit them quickly and easily, then export them directly back without breaking anything.

As of Mr Mannequins Tools 5.0, the previously separate add-ons have been merged back into one package.

Maintaining and updating everything separately was, quite frankly, annoying.

So if you're looking for one of the old standalone add-ons and wondering where it went: it's in here now.

This update is huge and there will be bugs, but I'll be doing my best to fix them as quickly as possible!

I’m often available for a variety of specialized freelance work!

• Unreal Engine C++ & Blueprints
• Control Rigs, Rigging & Animation
• Blender Python & Custom Tools
• Character Modelling, Retopology & Weighting
• Multiplayer Replication & Gameplay Systems
• Pipelines, Workflows & Troubleshooting

If your project needs something unusual, highly technical or painfully specific, get in touch.

Mr Mannequins Tools is a free project, so please don't expect dedicated one-to-one technical help unless you're supporting me on Patreon.

I absolutely will help where I can, but free support has to fit around my work commitments and actually developing the thing.

To report bugs and get Blender & Unreal support please join Mr Mannequins Server on Discord.

You can get the addon on Gumroad if you want to donate.

Or on Superhive to give 10% of the proceeds to Blender.

Stay up to date with what I'm creating by following me on YouTube, X, Facebook and Instagram.
