# Mr Mannequins Tools

Mr Mannequins Tools is a [Blender](https://www.blender.org/) add-on that exports animations and weighted meshes that are directly compatible with the
third person mannequin that is available in [Unreal Engine's Third Person Template](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Resources/Templates/ThirdPerson/index.html),
without re-targeting anything in Unreal Engine.

Features:

Now contains:

- an animation ready mannequin rig with female bones and other various rigging features
- an animation ready first person gun and bow rig (more rigging features at some point)
- an accurate Blender version of the mannequin and gun materials
- all mannequin, femmequin, gun and bow meshes
- a detailed pose interface with some useful rigging options
- a new WIP custom character mapping system (retargeting within Blender)
- a modular rigging system that works with any mapped character (my rigging where you want it)
- a basic socket system for any object (still more to come on this)
- the mother of all FBX export scripts (improved animation export code)
- the father of all FBX import scripts (improved animation import code)

If you want to know how the compatibility works, see [Mannequin Compatibility Explanation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRoQ3T8chUg&list=PL1VT6HxCKabeKxASV_HUrt3mtn3ld6sa0&index=3).

# Getting the Add-on

You can get the add-on from several places:

- Download from [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/JimKroovy/posts). Early access releases posted here.
- Download from [Gumroad](https://gumroad.com/jimkroovy) if you want the most recent stable version.
- Download a [released version from github](https://github.com/Jim-Kroovy/Mr-Mannequins-Tools/releases) if you want a previous release.
- Purchase from [Blender Market](https://blendermarket.com/products/mr-mannequins-tools)
- Clone this repository with git. Note that the *master* branch is bleeding edge, but the intention is to keep it in a usable state.
  (if you clone this you will need to manually extract the MMT_Stash folder from the most recent release... Git-LFS is too annoying)

_NOTE:_ Due to a [github limitation](https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/issues/903) the *Download Zip* function (under the green *Clone or download* button) does not correctly download the .blend files, since
they are stored using git-lfs.
