Bone Shop Blender Addon

NOTE: Avoid getting copies of this elsewhere as those usually are injected with viruses and hacks, so avoid those risks and always come here for your copy.

Bone Shop is a powerful Blender 4.0+ addon that simplifies the process of bone mapping, renaming, and retargeting between different rig types like Mixamo and Rigify. Designed for riggers and animators, it provides an intuitive UI for setting up and customizing bone correspondences—whether you're converting rigs, standardizing naming conventions, or building your own mapping presets.

Feature Set

• ✅ Bone Mapping System: Create and edit custom bone pairs with source-to-target relationships
• ✅ Preset Support: Save/load/delete mapping presets (JSON-based) for repeated workflows
• ✅ Mixamo ↔ Rigify Defaults: Built-in presets for converting between Mixamo and Rigify rig names
• ✅ Rename Operator: Automatically rename bones in Edit mode using your loaded preset
• ✅ Reverse Rename: Rename bones from target back to source (Rigify → Mixamo, etc.)
• ✅ Auto Mapping Generator: Automatically detects and matches bones between two rigs based on name similarity
• ✅ UI Integration: Found in the 3D Viewport Sidebar under the “Bone Shop” tab
• ✅ Bone List Export: Output all bone names to a .txt file on your desktop
• ✅ Custom Icons: Stylish UI icons and optional website link integration

How to Use

1. Install the addon via Edit > Preferences > Add-ons in Blender 4.0 or higher
2. Open the sidebar with N in the 3D Viewport, and go to the “Bone Shop” tab
3. Load a default or custom preset, or use Generate Mapping between two rigs to auto-detect similarities
4. Use Rename Bones to apply the mapping and update bone names
5. Save your mappings as reusable presets for future rigs

Made on Blender 4.0 and might work for some previous versions and later versions, but if not report back and just maybe may update to support other versions depending on demand for it...
