Meet Rex, Sprite Frights resident Alpha dog - cricket champion and snail hater. Grab the full character rig with poses and expressions bundled together.
This asset currently requires Blender 3.3-3.6, and may break on lower or higher versions!
Notes on how to use the character
- Put your 3D cursor in the Origin of your scene. Choose File > Link and browse the character file
- Go to the Collections and select CH-rex. Make sure "Instance Collections" is enabled. Press Enter.
- The Collection should appear instanced in the Viewport. Select it.
- Choose Object > Library Override > Make.

I finished animating this character, but when I render it, there is hair behind the character, it is not connected to the character, how can I fix it?
@kemal kordon There is a script in the .blend file that is responsible for moving the particle hair where it should be, called rigged_particle_hair.py. This should execute automatically when you load the file. So if you get a prompt asking you to execute python scripts, you need to allow it for the particle hair to deform. Also make sure to use Blender 3.3-3.6, I've added that to the description of the asset now.
I'm searching YouTube but can't find anywhere a step-by-step to get this rig working beyond the steps 1-4 listed here in text. Like, how does the library work? I can't seem to access it. It says it moved to the asset shelf, when I go to there, it's empty. I also can't find how to access rig features like ik/fk switching etc. that seem to be shown in screenshots I've seen. Can't find a walk through on YouTube, so if someone has one would love to see it. I did download and install cloudrig add on to rigify, I noticed that in the 'N' menu sidebar thing, but that's absent the rig features I'm expecting seeing. Is this possibly because I have Blender 4.0? Thanks for any help getting going!
@Lucas Ridley The rig UI won't work in 4.0, so I would recommend using 3.6 for this one until it gets updated. I added that to the asset's description now. Sorry for the late response.
Hi. When I import the rig into a scene using Link, it doesn't come with pose library. How can I fix that?
@Vexa You can append the Action datablocks from the file, as a separate step. Or alternatively, add an Asset Folder in your user preferences, pointing at the folder where you downloaded Rex. Hope that helps! :)
hi its great, but i use blender 3.2 and my pose library is empty. how can i use the acts like in the picture?
@mohsen You can append the Action datablocks from the file, as a separate step. Or alternatively, add an Asset Folder in your user preferences, pointing at the folder where you downloaded Rex. Hope that helps! :)
I am getting errors like "Cannot find lib 'C:\Work\scripts\cloudrig.blend'", "Cannot find lib 'C:\Work\scripts\rigged_particle_hair.blend'" and a few more. I guessed the rig need CloudRig so I tried to install it but CloudRig for 2.92~2.93 is the latest.
@Hyunseok Ryu Thanks, it should be fixed now!
@Demeter - Cool rig so far, but I would recommend making things like shoulders and neck visible by default instead of all the head shaper controls. Perhaps you could add a brief section on "how to use this rig" in the Readme as well?
@bombkat15 Good suggestion, I've made the shoulders, neck and head assigned to both the IK and FK layers, and gave them better bone shapes.
@Demeter Dzadik Thanks for doing that!
This is not the character Rex, this is just a cube!!!
@Thomas Burns If you appended the Rex rig collection, he might be hiding inside the cube. Try just opening the file rex_packed instead! When you create a New scene from scratch the cube will always show up - to avoid this happening every time you create a new file, delete the cube (and anything else you don't want) and go to File->Defaults->Save Startup File
@Kathleen Curry thanks and sorry for the long delay
@Thomas Burns may be you can also help me with finding Add/Armature for rigify. I am not able to find Armature (rigify is installed) I am using Blender 3.1 if this helps
Thanks !!!!! Always thanks for Blender Studio's efforts and works. :)
I m getting the same problem here as well
