Must have. It also provide simple export to game engines (Unity and Unreal), which works flawlessly without much tinkering to the settings.

I'm a blender beginner and I am not exaggerating when I say I can rig a secondary/background character in like 5 minutes with this add-on. It would take me hours from scratch. Actually, I'm not even sure I could set up this type of rig at all manually.
Of course the important characters will take a bit longer to set up, because you usually have to fix things like the armpits bulging out, and usually the head/face, eyelashes etc, tends to require some fine-tuning. But still, it is a big time saver.
The animation re-targeting tools are also a big help.
Some small things are bit vague or missing in the documentation, at least from a beginners perspective. E.g. the placement of the breast bones and things like that. But it's nothing super-important. I can recommend CGDives tutorials as a complement to the docs.

The best rigging in Blender! It just makes sense. The more I get into it, I find more and more ultra usefull options. I can't beleive there are negative reviews for this. Nothing is going to be magical peope. You still have to do manual work. You still have to have a basic understanding of rigging in Blender. This add on just saves countless hours of work.

Thanks for the kind words Seth! I believe you are correct, some newcomers may idealize the addon, thinking the rig will ready in two clicks, but it's obviously not what it's about.

Awesome add on - rigging, skinning and animating are very challenging by default and this add on makes it more intuitive, Artell has been super responsive and helped me so many times- what an amazing asset to the blender community, thank you so much!

I'm an experienced animator and rigger and I didn't like your software at all.
Rebake animations works only after you remove all the fences. If you remove them, you can no longer work with the animation.
Do export to unreal engine - nothing works. Again I have to figure it out.
Do remap some animations on the other and all the bones have to fill in the list from scratch every time.
Your addon helps to save effort on many things and creates problems where they were not before. It's not something I should have spent $60 for (that's including other addons to it)
It hurts that I bought the addon and its add-ons almost half a year ago and only now I had to put it to work to its full potential.
Don't waste your time and your money. Learn rigging in blender from scratch and no one will cheat you.

Hello Eldar, I have difficulty understanding what you mean here.
This rigging addon is used professionally, by me and other riggers (TV series, games, movies...) Maybe it does not fit your needs for some reasons. A tool cannot please everyone for sure, but bashing a tool that may not be for you is disrespectful.
This addon is incredibly time-saving and easy to use, especially if you are rigging biped characters (bacause of the Smart feature). Its basically Rigify but with better user experience and a lot of extra features.
What I would love to see developped in the future :
1- More controls on the generated face rig
2- More modulatity overall, more rig types.
Looking for a good serie of tutorials about ARP, look out the "Rig anything with Auto-Rig pro" from CGDive on Youtube !
