The Ultimate Blender Toolkit for Unreal Engine Characters

Mr Mannequins Tools is a free Blender add-on built to make working with Unreal Engine's mannequins fast and painless.

But that's not all... Mr Mannequins Tools has grown far beyond its original purpose and now includes a wide set of tools for working with characters in Blender.

Alongside the core Manny and Quinn import/export workflow, you'll find tools for:

• Fast, high-quality character rigging

• Custom character compatibility

• Armature, mesh and animation retargeting

• Mesh orientation for socket attachments

• Weighting and shape keys

• Mannequin-themed templates for prototyping

• General Blender To Unreal workflow utilities

The goal is simple: import your assets into Blender, edit them quickly and easily, then export them directly back without breaking anything.

Update 5.0

As of Mr Mannequins Tools 5.0, the previously separate add-ons have been merged back into one package.

Maintaining and updating everything separately was, quite frankly, annoying.

So if you're looking for one of the old standalone add-ons and wondering where it went: it's in here now.

This update is huge and there will bugs but I'll be doing my best to fix them as quickly as possible!

Support

Mr Mannequins Tools is a free project, so please don't expect dedicated one-to-one technical help unless you're supporting me on Patreon.

I absolutely will help where I can, but free support has to fit around my work commitments and actually developing the thing.

To report bugs and get Blender & Unreal support please join Mr Mannequins Server on Discord.

You can also get the addon on Gumroad if you want to try it for free.

Stay up to date with what I'm creating on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
