At its core, CloudRig functions by interpreting a Metarig—a simplified skeleton that acts as a blueprint. Instead of manually placing every constraint and driver, you simply position the Metarig's bones to match your character's proportions. Once you hit "Generate," CloudRig does the heavy lifting, automatically creating a complex network of helper bones, sophisticated constraints, and seamless drivers. This version introduces enhanced stability and logic for more "organic" deformations, making it ideal for everything from high-end cinematic characters to stylized game assets.

Key Features & Benefits

• Production-Ready Control: CloudRig is designed for professional animators. It provides advanced IK/FK switching, stretchy limbs, and automated bendy bone setups that allow for fluid, expressive movement without the technical overhead of manual rigging.

• Intuitive Metarig Workflow: The "input-to-output" logic means you spend less time troubleshooting bone hierarchies and more time focusing on the silhouette and performance of your character.

• Blender 4.2+ Optimization: Fully compatible with the latest LTS versions of Blender, leveraging updated Python APIs for faster generation times and better viewport performance.

• Customizable Rig Layers: The generated rigs are highly organized, using clear UI layers and bone groups. This allows animators to toggle visibility for specific parts of the body, reducing clutter during complex scenes.

• Modular Flexibility: Whether you are rigging a biped, quadruped, or a custom creature, CloudRig’s modular nature allows you to mix and match rig types to fit any anatomy.
