Use when rigging a character, creature or prop in Blender through Python: "rig this character", Rigify metarig fitting or generation errors, automatic weights or "Bone Heat Weighting failed", weight painting fixes, clothes that do not follow, IK/FK switch, foot roll, twist bones, drivers and custom properties, corrective shape keys, a stylized face rig, a mechanical or hard-surface rig, or testing how a rig deforms.

Skill Content

# Blender rigging Expert rigging means the rig is specified by bone placement, proven by deformation under stress poses, and shaped around what the animator will actually use. The stance of every source expert: place joints precisely, generate or build the simplest mechanism that works, then pose it, measure it, render it and fix it before calling it done. If a sibling skill named here is missing from your available skills, ask the user to install it (`npx skills add scenario-labs/skills --skill <name>`); unattended, proceed from tool schemas and flag the gap. **REQUIRED BACKGROUND:** scenario-blender-expert (execution channel, review loop, 5.2 API changes). Module: [`scripts/bx_rig.py`](scripts/bx_rig.py) (tested on 5.2.1, headless and GUI). `import sys; sys.path.append("<skills>/scenario-blender-rigging/scripts"); import bx_rig as R`. ## Stance (the expert delta) - **Placement is the specification.** Joints sit in the center of the volume they move, not on the anatomical skeleton ("bones simulate bone, muscle and tissue"); knees and elbows get a slight pre-bend because the chain's curvature IS the IK plane; rolls put each hinge on one local axis so the animator uses one curve (CGDive; Demeter: the bend, not the roll, decided where his pole landed). - **The metarig is the source, the generated rig is disposable.** Every fix goes into metarig bones, Rigify parameters or a post-generation script; regenerating keeps control names, so weights and animation survive (CGDive, ...

scenario-blender-animation

Use when animating characters or objects in Blender through Python, a bouncing ball, walk or run cycle, jump, acting shot, lip sync, eye darts or facial animation, blocking in stepped keys, splining, polish, timing and spacing, arcs, overlap, squash and stretch, graph editor handles, slotted actions or NLA layers, staging a playblast, or when animation looks floaty, stiff, slides, pops, chatters, the subject is too small in frame, or a knee pops and needs an expert review.

scenario-blender-previs-storyboard

Use when turning a script or story into previs, layout, storyboards or an animatic in Blender: beats to shot list, camera and lens per shot, staging, camera height, 180-degree rule, screen direction, shot sizes, when to cut, camera moves, timing stills in the Video Sequencer, markers bound to cameras, Story Tools, Grease Pencil or 2D/3D hybrid boards. Also when an animatic shows the wrong frame, blocking keys are not stepped, Rigify operators are missing, or viewport render fails headless.
