WHAT IS Lazy Bones?

Lazy Bones is a tool kit to speed up bone creation and placement when rigging.

– Convert selected edges to bones

– ‘Auto’ create skeletons using Simulation Nodes

Quick bone clean up functions

WHO IS THIS FOR?

The addon was originally made for me! I was trying to rig a ladder-like structure on some character pants. It was a nightmare.

I wanted a faster solution than placing bones by hand since I knew I was soon going to rig a necklace later.

Typical workflow using Lazy Bones

(workflow varies mesh to mesh, watch the videos for full examples and limitations)

1 – Simulate a basic skeleton’ of edges using ‘Mesh 2 Edges’.

2 – Use ‘Sim Clean Up’ to snap verts to center, remove small edges, resample edges lengths and remove edge intersections. Apply these fixes.

3 – Select all edges in EDIT mode and convert the edges to bones with one click.

4. – Use the ‘Bone Doctor’ tools to set bone rolls, bone directions and symmetrize – all from OBJECT mode.

5. Refine bone placement manually.

1 – – MESH-2-EDGE SIMULATION

(EXPERIMENTAL*)

The simulation plays. The mesh ‘shrinks’ into itself. When you get results you like, hit ‘Apply’ and the simulation ends. It won’t look too pretty yet, that comes with Clean Up modifiers.
