    5 stars without a doubt. The best rigging product you can buy for Blender. Let me tell you my experience:
    At first, I had an idea about rigging, but I was far away of being studio quality (as I dreamed to do). It was such a headache to work with other rigging tools, like Rigify, even with all the tutorials in the world. I felt like I would never be able to do a professional looking animation (like in Maya, for example). And when I saw all the features of ARP, I saved some money and finally bought it. It was a life change.
    Rigs are fast and easy to do. Facial rig is amazing. Finger ik, sticky lips, etc, worked like a charm. I’ve never had a problem with weight painting.
    BUT, it was a challenge to do the shapekeys at first, (I was doing something wrong). But the developer answered, and after a few days he discovered what was happening, and my problem solved. I could make all the stylized shapekeys I wanted.
    I’m starting to make the best animations in my life, studio quality as I wanted. And it wasn’t hard to achieve.
    I highly recommend this addon for people working in game industry, TV, or even hobbyist like me that wish to have a smooth Dreamworks quality project.
    The only thing I would argue about this addon is that, yes, there is an online guide, and some tutorials on youtube, but they’re not advanced tutorials at all. They teach you just the basic. If you want a professional project, or very specific things/actions for your character, you need a deep detailed video. I would suggest A LOT of new videos of “how to do x thing”, that would be really helpful. That every time there’s a new feature, there’s also a new video showing how to achieve that.
    As I said, I highly recommend this product. It’s worth it. Thanks for everything!

    RIgging is not easy to master. But if someone could make it fun, easy and fast, that I´m in. When I first bought it I thought I would be sitting for hours doing something that was tedious and difficult to achieve. To my suprise after 15 minutes after some tweaking I had a full blown rig with control over the entire body. This addon is a bliss for both a novice and a pro and in my opinion the best tool for Blender at the moment.

    I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the amazing Autorig feature that has been incredibly helpful since I transitioned to Blender from other software. As a novice to Blender's skeletal system, Autorig has simplified the process and made it less challenging, sav ing me a lot of rigging time.

    With Autorig, I have been able to approach the level of efficiency and quality that I used to have with my previous software in a much shorter amount of time. I have also noticed that the results of the rig are much better, which has saved me a lot of time and cost on maintenance.

    Quick Rig has been a great addition as well, allowing me to quickly repurpose assets from other software and redefine them into Autorig's configuration with almost seamless conversion through ReTarger.

    The author's scripts have also been incredibly useful, making batch exporting to UE a breeze, and quickly assisting me in troubleshooting any errors encountered during execution.

    Overall, Autorig has been the best addon I've purchased for Blender, and I am truly grateful for the time and effort that the author has put into developing such an amazing feature.

    Absolutely love this Addon. I know how to rig figures just fine, but the time savings using this is insane! Gone are the feelings of dread about spending a bunch monotonous time rigging a figure. Even the face is easy to do.
    The creator has been very helpful when I have needed a bit of help.

    Thats just perfect, I really enjoy it. Im new in 3D and GameDev and a model I did isn't perfect. It was hard to weight paint because of small elements I have here and there, fixing Rigify weights is just a nightmare for me and my own solution was taking quite time.
    But this addon works smooth and nice, I got a perfect result just in 2 mintes after installation. One of the best things I have ever bought in my life!
    Thank you so much!

    I have some rigging notions but I'm not skilled enough to perform a high quality rig and this is what this plugin offers. Perfect !
    I recommend to use it with the Voxel Heat Diffuse Skinning to really enjoy an almost effort-free workflow ^^
    And the developper reacted quickly to my feedbacks...
    One of my best purchases without a doubt !

    As a Maya animator wanting to take some first steps on the terrifying world of rigging seasoned with the weirdnes of blender I can say this add-on is the perfect tool.
    If you want a disney tier rig you will need to put a lot of work and re-do most things (After all this is not magic, it's a really smart piece of tech).

    But if you are an animator trying to make some videogames or wanting to start some personal projects this is a must buy. Reasonably priced and super fast support from the dev.

    I'll recommend no doubts.

    Thank you for this. Truly.

    I'm just a few hours into using it and already doing things that I gave up on with legacy solutions. Animation/Rigging has probably one of the largest gap between the ease of conceptualization and the difficulty of implementation. There is a =ton= of stuff in between. I've tried several times to get a workflow that didn't make me want to animate myself jumping off a building. This is a game changer for me and takes all of the pain out of the setup process.

    Lucas, you're a wizard - plain and simple. The stuff running under the hood is insane. You've squarely taken one of the most painful processes in blender and made it simple and intuitive. I've figured most of the base features out without having to refer to a tutorial (of which, there are plenty). I'm still have yet to explore much of the plugin, but couldn't ask for a better first impression. Worth every penny.

    Blender is an amazing solution preceded only by its community, so thank you again for all of your hard work and taking the time to answer my pre-purchase questions.
