Blocks, Standard: Free Body Mechanics Rig for Blender

Blocks, Standard is a simple rig for animating and posing humanoid characters. It comes with all the features you could need to create expressive animations and good looking poses.

You can use it for whatever you feel like whether it be animation practice or just pulling it apart to see what makes it tick.

!! 4.2 INCOMPATIBLE, PLEASE READ !!:

The rig is currently not compatible with the LTS version of Blender 4.2. This is not an issue I can fix, 4.2 is inherently unstable. 4.1 is reported to work fine. The Enhanced version of the rig is also not compatible with 4.2.

All the features that the rig provides:

• Masculine and feminine body types.
• Full IK and FK limbs.
• Push and pull spine controller.
• Limb and body stretching.
• Heel lift controllers.
• A simple and lightweight mesh.
• Look at controller for the rigs head bone.
  

The correct way to add this rig to your project is to append the whole "Blocks rig" collection.

This rig is free for anyone to use but if you feel that you are financially in a position to donate any amount its always greatly appreciated.
