What happens if I edit the generated meshes?
You can edit them like normal Blender objects, but remember that they still belong to a generated blockout. While the blockout is active, some changes will make the add-on update or rebuild the objects. If you manually edit those meshes, those edits can be lost when the objects are written again.
Finalizing the blockout is the safer state to treat the objects as your own geometry. Just keep in mind that finalized blockouts can still be affected by animation options if you enable them.
If you want to make sure the add-on cannot touch the objects anymore, move them out of the blockout collection. FBG only tracks its generated objects while they are linked to that collection.
I keyframed FBG properties, but I do not see the keyframes. Where are they?
Keyframes are stored on the blockout's controller object. It is a hidden Empty generated with each blockout, and you can find it in the Outliner by its `_CTRL` suffix. Select the controller to see the keyframes. Use the Controller Visibility button in the FBG panel header to reveal and select it quickly.
What would I use an animated blockout for?
The animated blockout can be a way to bring motion into your own character work. You can shape the generated figure to match your model, animate that figure, and then use Bake to Rig to create an armature that fits the same proportions. If your model starts from a specific pose, Bake to Rig can also use a saved pose as the armature's rest pose.
Does Bake to Rig reveal a hidden armature?
No. FBG does not use a hidden Blender armature for live posing. Bake to Rig is a dedicated feature that creates a new armature at bake time; it is not revealing something the add-on was already using internally.
Why does FBG posing feel different from a normal rig?
FBG is not built on Blender's normal armature and constraint system. Its posing system was designed and written specifically for this add-on, so it has its own feel. A dedicated rig made for a specific character will usually give you more control, but it also takes time and rigging experience to build. FBG gives you a generated figure that can be shaped, posed, and animated immediately.
