Pin It

SkyVFX in Rigging


ADD-ON · VERSION 1.1 · 5.2 LTS READY

Stop fighting Ctrl+P.

Pin gear on in one click.

Select the prop, shift-click the target, hit Attach. Pin It works out whether you clicked a bone, an object or a character mesh — and keeps a tidy list of everything you've attached.

Bone Object Surface Copy Loadout


Nine steps → one click

THE OLD WAY

Select prop › shift-select armature › Pose Mode › hunt for the bone › Ctrl+P › Bone › prop jumps › fix it › repeat for every item.

WITH PIN IT

Select prop › click target › Attach. Done — and it never jumps: Keep Transform holds the prop exactly where you placed it, on attach and on detach.

Pin to anything — three ways

Leave it on Auto and Pin It picks the right one for you.

Bone

Gear that rides the skeleton: a sword in hand, swords crossed on the back. Rigid Bone Parent or non-destructive Child Of.

Object

Prop to prop, no rig needed: a sight on a gun, blades chained into one weapon.

Surface

No bone there? Pin to the mesh itself — a gem on the brow, a patch on the chest. Follows the deforming mesh.

HOW TO USE IT · 55 SECONDS
A socket manager, not just a button

Every attachment listed, grouped by bone / object / mesh. Rename inline, move a prop to another bone with its grip kept (left hand → right hand), select or detach — all from the panel.

NEW IN 1.1
Copy Loadout

Kitted out one character? Copy the whole loadout onto another rig with matching bone names in one click — every grip kept, sights included. Perfect for a cast of Mixamo or game-skeleton characters.
