Orient Bone Shapes addon
Anyone who has tried to align a custom shape to a bone knows how difficult it can be. It is especially cumbersome with bones that are oriented at an angle rather than a straight line.
However, the free Orient Bone Shapes addon makes the process simple.
Here is the workflow in a nutshell:
- model your custom shape exactly as you want it to appear in your rig
- select the shape, then shift+select your rig and go to Pose Mode
- select the bone you want to apply the shape to
- right-click and choose “Set and align bone shape”
That’s all, folks! 🙂
This addon hasn’t been updated in a while. However, I can confirm that it works in Blender 4.0!
