Rig & Character Layers

Store bones and objects to easily turn on/off character layers to hide or show clothes, hair, shoes, scarves, hats and bones controllers.

Drivers

To hide or show your character clothes, hair, shoes etc. you need Drivers.
You can of course add a driver in your character visibility, copy the properties data path, paste it and then select the target, but that's cumbersome and annoying...
On the contrary, in BlenQuick Auto-Rigger all you have to do is navigate to the driver tab in settings and choose one of the prebuild drivers.
So basically you just copy the driver and paste it were you want in your character.

Simulations

1 : Click Simulation (Universal tool work on any Rigs). Easily generate a click effect on the object(s) you choose, for example piano keys or a computer keyboard.

2 : Bones Physics Simulation. Easily create a wiggle effect on bones.
