    5 stars without a doubt. The best rigging product you can buy for Blender. Let me tell you my experience:
    At first, I had an idea about rigging, but I was far away of being studio quality (as I dreamed to do). It was such a headache to work with other rigging tools, like Rigify, even with all the tutorials in the world. I felt like I would never be able to do a professional looking animation (like in Maya, for example). And when I saw all the features of ARP, I saved some money and finally bought it. It was a life change.
    Rigs are fast and easy to do. Facial rig is amazing. Finger ik, sticky lips, etc, worked like a charm. I’ve never had a problem with weight painting.
    BUT, it was a challenge to do the shapekeys at first, (I was doing something wrong). But the developer answered, and after a few days he discovered what was happening, and my problem solved. I could make all the stylized shapekeys I wanted.
    I’m starting to make the best animations in my life, studio quality as I wanted. And it wasn’t hard to achieve.
    I highly recommend this addon for people working in game industry, TV, or even hobbyist like me that wish to have a smooth Dreamworks quality project.
    The only thing I would argue about this addon is that, yes, there is an online guide, and some tutorials on youtube, but they’re not advanced tutorials at all. They teach you just the basic. If you want a professional project, or very specific things/actions for your character, you need a deep detailed video. I would suggest A LOT of new videos of “how to do x thing”, that would be really helpful. That every time there’s a new feature, there’s also a new video showing how to achieve that.
    As I said, I highly recommend this product. It’s worth it. Thanks for everything!

    RIgging is not easy to master. But if someone could make it fun, easy and fast, that I´m in. When I first bought it I thought I would be sitting for hours doing something that was tedious and difficult to achieve. To my suprise after 15 minutes after some tweaking I had a full blown rig with control over the entire body. This addon is a bliss for both a novice and a pro and in my opinion the best tool for Blender at the moment.

    It's a good product, not sure if its worth 40usd, but definitely one of the best options out there for Blender. Has some bugs, has some issues, but not critical. The most disappointing thing probably is that documentation on a plug-in is not up-to-date.

    I am amazed at how the simple rigging interface can provide such good rigs. The skinning is good, better than Automatic Weights certainly, and the voxel option cleans up shorts and legs, etc., nicely. The retargeting is good. I only wish they supplied a bone chart that listed exactly what targeting to bones are required. You can figure it out, but it is a complicated naming pattern. Exporting to UE no probs.

    I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the amazing Autorig feature that has been incredibly helpful since I transitioned to Blender from other software. As a novice to Blender's skeletal system, Autorig has simplified the process and made it less challenging, sav ing me a lot of rigging time.

    With Autorig, I have been able to approach the level of efficiency and quality that I used to have with my previous software in a much shorter amount of time. I have also noticed that the results of the rig are much better, which has saved me a lot of time and cost on maintenance.

    Quick Rig has been a great addition as well, allowing me to quickly repurpose assets from other software and redefine them into Autorig's configuration with almost seamless conversion through ReTarger.

    The author's scripts have also been incredibly useful, making batch exporting to UE a breeze, and quickly assisting me in troubleshooting any errors encountered during execution.

    Overall, Autorig has been the best addon I've purchased for Blender, and I am truly grateful for the time and effort that the author has put into developing such an amazing feature.

    Absolutely love this Addon. I know how to rig figures just fine, but the time savings using this is insane! Gone are the feelings of dread about spending a bunch monotonous time rigging a figure. Even the face is easy to do.
    The creator has been very helpful when I have needed a bit of help.

    Great for basic rig but I have had no luck with the mouth, tongue, and eyes moving with the rig. The hair also does not follow when manipulations are made. I'm sure it's something I'm missing but as a newbie, very frustrating.

      Thanks for the feedback, sorry to hear it was a mitigated experience for you. While it's supposed to be a helpful addition in the rigger's toolbox, it's definitely not a simple toy and requires some knowledge and minimum experience with Blender and rigging to appreciate it at its full potential. It's not a fully automatized solution, especially regarding skinning:

    Thats just perfect, I really enjoy it. Im new in 3D and GameDev and a model I did isn't perfect. It was hard to weight paint because of small elements I have here and there, fixing Rigify weights is just a nightmare for me and my own solution was taking quite time.
    But this addon works smooth and nice, I got a perfect result just in 2 mintes after installation. One of the best things I have ever bought in my life!
    Thank you so much!
