Thx so much for the rig it is fantastic ! If one animator could make a little demo of how to use the rig that would be awesome. I know my way around with Auto-Rig Pro addon but never use ''rigify'' before, so I'm not sure how to switch fk/ik ect... Maybe not now, but when most rig would be release.

@Francis Jasmin Ohh, sorry, the CloudRig script didn't executed first time. Now I see the menu.

For some reason the legs deform really weird whenever i pose them in fk and use the IK to FK snap button. The thighs scale up and the foot rotates in the opposite direction.

@Simon Whoops, good catch, it should be fixed now.

I opened the Ellie character with Blender 3.0 Beta (11/04)and enabled Python. Everything is as opened from the download. Ellie's face won't pose when I click on the asset thumbnails. If I right click on the thumbnail, shouldn't I see an 'Assign' option? Am I doing something wrong?

@Chris Clawson It is a bit confusing, things behave differently depending on if you're browsing the poses through the Pose Library UI or the Asset Browser. I changed the UI layout in the file to show the Pose Library UI by default, that should behave how you expect. However, make sure the Pose Library addon is enabled, and that you don't select any bones, since then the pose assignment will only work on selected bones.

@Demeter Dzadik -YES! Thank You. The included Pose Library plugin needs to be enabled. I think that should be mentioned in the "Readme" notes. I have been a Blenderhead since 1999, but I am just recently getting back into animation. These new animation concepts are a real challenge to get back into but this may be a great time to do it.

Can you guys try to append the Ellie collection (CH-ellie) in a new blend file. Every time i append it to a new project textures are broken, they rendered grey. Am i missing something?

@Erick Nyandu Kabongo Yes i m using the latest blender 3.1.0 alpha

@Erick Nyandu Kabongo Sounds odd. If the textures work when you open the file directly, they should also work when you append the character. Maybe it's just a Blender bug, or your graphics card is no longer supported?

@Demeter Dzadik I believe there some problem with the way the files are packed, here is the screen of the blender when the file is appended into a new blend file (not saved) https://pasteall.org/pic/dd475794b4ce40a69f6730a71cac3961 And after i rendered i get this one https://pasteall.org/pic/7eb428f8bc8f4b749e176c3522988bab and the original file gives me render like this https://pasteall.org/pic/874502a39a814fd58bf59ee1dd264e99

@Erick Nyandu Kabongo It will be better to upload the blend with texture folder separated and other folders separated and zipped them altogether.

@Erick Nyandu Kabongo Thanks! It should be fixed now, if you re-download.

@Demeter Dzadik nope, the problem is there. Nothing has changed, i m getting the same warning message at the beginning and the same render. Why you guys don't pack all the needed file on the separate folder? I m suspecting that you are relying too much on some scripts, and since I don't have those script locally i m encountering this problem. Try to a new blend: file-> load factory settings and then append CH-ellie, change the renderer to Cycles and then render it. I have tried this in 2 different computers and the problem is still there.

@Erick Nyandu Kabongo So, I learned something today. Apparently packed libraries cannot be appended, so everything must be made local. Thanks for letting me know, it should really work now. I also made a report about this: https://developer.blender.org/T93282

@Demeter Dzadik You did it, now it renders well with all the textures in place. Can you please update Rex .blend file as well?

Thaks for sharing a qute little girl Character!!!! I have a question though, How I can use the finger grasp controller? Is this rig doesn't have it or just i missed it and don't know using proper way...?
Demeter Dzadik
23rd November 2021 - 11:12
@1uckysh00v There is no single control for putting the finger in a grabbing or fist clench pose, you would have to pose the fingers individually, or apply the pose from the pose library, which you can do by enabling the Pose Library in the addons list.

@Diego Hooton It should be fixed in a sneaky update, try re-downloading!

@Demeter Dzadik I have the same issue. Just downloaded it today, using a Mac M1 and most recent Blender 3.0.0
Demeter Dzadik
1st December 2021 - 12:20
@Arnold@googoo.nl @Diego Hooton It is now un-fixed, since the bug causing the teeth issue in the first place now got fixed in Blender 3.0 and 3.1.

I have Blender 2.93 and the character is not working. I downloaded it and when I open the .blend it gives the error. ´ bpy.context.space_data.system_bookmarks_active = 2 File format is not supported in file C:user\Documents\Blender\elie.blend'

@Juan Luis Diaz Mora The rig will not work in 2.93, you need 3.0.
