To the unfortunate first few people who downloaded: UDIM textures didn't pack correctly due to a Blender bug, it should be fixed as of this comment, please re-download. :) Also note that the rig requires Blender 3.1, since 3.0 doesn't have UDIM support yet, so opening the rig in 3.0 will also result in purple textures. Added a warning about this in the description.

@Demeter Dzadik : Yup! 3.1 Alpha didn't work... but the recent build of 3.1 that is linked above works great so far.

@Jeremy Bot 3.1 is the official stable release version at the time of your comment, no unstable alpha shennanigans required for Snow! :)

Hello Dzadik. A school asked me to teach few hours of animation. They asked me for a free rig first. Please, I would like to know if the rig is free to teach?

Hi friends, for the snow rig there is the possibility to put your hands in hip or pelvis follow mode ?

@Alessio Rossi Sorry for the late response. You can find this under Sidebar->CloudRig->Settings->IK->Parent Switching-> Left/Right Arm->set to "Torso".

@Dylan Anderson butt on the rain character I had to use a option in the object tab(can’t remember the name) but that doesn’t seem to give me that option with snow

@Dylan Anderson butt You should be able to simply open the file, select the armature, and indeed select Pose Mode from the list of modes, just like Rain.

@Demeter Dzadik with rain I had to override proxy.

@Dylan Anderson butt You're linking the rig into another file, which is fine, but not at all required. But yes, if you link it then you need to override it (proxies were removed in 3.0 or so)

@Dylan Anderson butt Cannot open file E:\blender\snow_v02.blend@ for writing: Permission denied

@Dylan Anderson butt I don't think this is an issue with the rig, or even Blender. Sounds like an Operating System error. You're either out of disk space or don't have rights or something. You're best off trying to google the error.

After linking Snow and made library override and saved, reverting the file breaks the eyebrows and face geometry:
Also, The "META-Snow" rig isn't disabled in viewport. I tried on Blender 3.1.2 and 3.2.0 with the same result. Could someone look into this, please?

@-L0Lock- Seems like it could be a bug in Library Overrides, could you make a bug report on developer.blender.org with the exact reproduction steps? You can link to this page as the download link for Snow's rig.

@Demeter Dzadik Thanks for the reply. I will try to make a nice report asap today.
By the way, should any issues with Blender Cloud's products be discussed on their respective Blender Cloud page, or is there a better place for that?
Demeter Dzadik

@-L0Lock- I would say you can generally use developer.blender.org for reporting issues with anything you find on our website.

@-L0Lock- Hei hei!
Did you submit the bug already? I have the same problem after linking, overriding, saving and reverting but I wasn't able to find any bug submission about this.
If not, I will submit this bug later today.
Demeter Dzadik
27th July 2022 - 15:43
@Dennys The thing is that I couldn't reproduce the issue on either 3.1.2 or latest master, by simply linking and overriding Snow and reloading the file, everything works fine in both versions.

@Demeter Dzadik Hei hei! Please excuse my spam. I was tring to type on my phone. That didn't really work.
I am using Blender 3.2.1. I link Snow via "File -> Link -> CH-snow"
After snow was loaded, he shows up with his rig (see image from -L0Lock), but otherwise intact.
I than override the collection via "F3 -> Override". After that, I save the blender file and revert it via "File -> Revert", to load the script. Before I accept the execution of the script, the face of snow is broken. The eyebrows explode outwards and his temples go inside his head and down to his knees (see image from -L0Lock).
When I switch overriding and reverting, than the mesh doesn't go wild. But snows rig still does show up. If I move his head with the normal widget controlls, the rig (the normal bones) stays in place.
Maybe these information will help? Or should I open up a "bug" report?
With kind regards,
Dennys

@Dennys Hi, a bug report on developer.blender.org might be in order. Sorry for the late reply!

Hi great rig! I wanted to constrain a prop to the head but I can't find any bone that keeps the prop attached to the head without moving it or rotating it, I want the character to wear a hat but none of the bones seem to work for that purpose, any suggestion? :)
Demeter Dzadik
15th September 2022 - 23:49
@David Omair Fuertes Martín You could constrain an empty to the head with Copy Transforms, then parent the hat to that empty so you can position it freely.
