1.12 Add-Ons
In order to minimize some of the selection options in various parts of the Blender interface,
some features have been put aside in a repository. You could say they have been hidden
away, so I will tell you where to go looking if you can't find something. These features are
listed in the add-ons directory in the user preferences window and may be activated and
deactivated depending on what you are doing (Figure 1.29).
Figure 1.29
See the supplements
page for more detailed
information on installing
add-ons.
This example shows the
activation of an add-on.
In the 3D window, Shift
+ the A key is pressed
to add an armature.
Without the add-on, only
“Single Bone” is avail-
able. With the add-on
ticked, “Human (Meta-
Rig)” is added to the se-
lection. “Rigging: Rigify”
is the name of a Python
script that adds “Hu-
man (Meta-Rig)” to the
program. Python is the
programming language
for Blender.
“Rigging: Rigify” is ticked
to activate the add-on.
“Add - Armature” before
the add-on is ticked
“Add - Armature” after
the add-on is ticked
