    So I purchased the Auto-Rig Pro addon for $40, according to a recommendations.

    Then I tried the Smart feature, it crashes my computer more often than not.

    I contacted the dev about it, they gave up and said there's no way to fix this problem, and asked if I would like a refund. Didn't even ask me for a screenshot, or a more precise description of the problem.

    So just for education, I looked at why it hung and found that it was a memory leak. I isolated the problem down to some specific rendering method and fixed it. Anyway, the technical details doesn't matter. Point being, the bug was quite easily identified and fixed.

    While looking through the code, I saw that it of substandard quality. So I issued a refund request to Blender Market, saying that since the code is bad, and whenever I encounter a problem in the future the developer wouldn't be willing to help me, I don't wanna risk using this tool in my pipeline.

    Blender Market was like "I saw that you already talked to the developer and they assisted you in solving the problem". I said they were lying since I fixed the bug myself. They said "No one is lying", and repeated what they said, in the fashion of ChatGPT. The gist of it is that I can't get a refund because there was no fault in the product (even though there *would* be, if I hadn't fixed it myself).

    So I asked the dev whether they could get a refund, since I no longer wanna use their addon. I got back a schmuck response saying how my solution was a "hack" and that they would have no proof of me not using the product again so they can't give me the refund.

    I told them , just keep my money if you want it so much.

    Anyway, I just wanna spread the word about this. Don't pay these people, folks!

      This customer crossed the line. He reported a memory leak issue when running ARP on a Macbook Pro 2019. While the point may be true, I could not validate it because I had no Macbook Pro 2019 to verify, but I never contested it. However, this is the first time this bug is reported out of 37.000 customers, it must be taken carefully with a grain of salt: it may be related to his graphic drivers or other conflicts with his environment. He eventually found a fix himself and claimed he was happy like this. The day after, he surprisingly changed his mind, required a refund, claiming the code quality was bad for his expectations, and ended up throwing insults and broke any codes of conduct. Enough is enough, this user has been flagged to the BM administrators.

    I have bought this addon very recently and all i'm going to say is that it's a marvelous must have rigging addon and a huge time saver. As i am writing this, i am looking for an answer for only one question of mine. Is there anyway i could use this addon and rig multiple eyes? For example 5 eyes as one of my characters has such amount of eyes however i can't seem to find any solution when it comes to this addon and rigging multiple eyes with it. Could something like this be implemented into the addon any time in the future or is there a way to do it and i'm just not noticing it?

      Hello Patrick, thanks for rating. Yes, adding more than two eyes is possible by either adding custom bones, or adding multiple heads and enabling only a pair of eyes per head. Then the eye_offset_ref bones can be parented to the main head bone, and the duplicated head can be hidden.

    Great tool, I got it to make exporting to UnrealEngine & able to use the UE5 skeleton.

    It worked flawlessly!

    The devs are also responsive to questions and happy to help with any issues you may have.

    Hey guys i just wanted to make a small suggestion, I've been using your addon for a long time now. I also recently started using the addon "Human Generator". I've tried to remap a rig from Mixamo onto a character from Human generator and i've found a solution on youtube but they use a custom preset under the "imports" section under remap. it would be super helpful if you guys could add this into the official addon seeing as how theres already remap presets supporting other 3rd party softwares. still 5/5 though.

    I have to rate it 5 stars because it's a really useful addon.

    The only problem is the lack of official video tutorials. I had to search on YT for weight painting, for example. The documentation is pretty thin, I understand that rigging, skinning is very complex but a potential buyer should see how to weight paint the mesh to deform correctly, because it doesn't always work like the official mesh after the rig.

    This was my case, I chose the first mesh to rig and I had problems with clothes deformations, and I found out how to weight paint the clothes after the CG Dive tutorial ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvjq7C9BbAQ ).

    So hopefully we will see some good official videos in the future because that would help more the users. Again, very useful addon, congrats. Cheers!

      Thank you Nic! CGDive is definitely making very relevant tutorials for Auto-Rig Pro, I hope he'll keep it up!

    I used it well until version 3.5, but it doesn't seem to work after 3.6. It probably doesn't work from installation. Are there any updates planned? Or should I downgrade to version 3.5?

    • Artell

      There are no known compatibility issues with Blender 3.6 currently (some have been fixed in the latest release, make sure to download and install it when using Blender 3.6). If the problem persists, please send a bug report ("Ask a Question" button at the right of this page). If the bug is reproducible and confirmed, that will be fixed as soon as possible!

    VERY powerful plugin. Very easy to use. And the author was very helpful and responsive. I can't picture doing character work without these tools. Great job Artell!
