This file contains the 'Default Cube' rig as well as the animation provided for the Blender Conference 2022 during the animation workshop. You can see my blogpost and presentation here.

The rig includes a couple of animation cycles that can be selected through the action editor. Have fun exploring and bringing life to the default cube!

How to link the character

  1. Put your 3D cursor in the Origin of your scene. Choose File > Link and browse the character file
  2. Go to the Collections and select PR-cube. Make sure "Instance Collections" is enabled. Press Enter.
  3. The Collection should appear instanced in the Viewport. Select it.
  4. Choose Object > Library Override > Make.

Note that you don't need to do these steps to simply open the file and play around with the rig.
