Chiro (UE4 Mannequin)

"Chiro (UE4 Mannequin)" is a Blender add-on for skinning with Unreal Engine 4 Mannequin armature.

Who is it for

• 3D Artists, who want to skin their characters with the Mannequin skeleton
• Indie Game Developers, who want an easy way to swap an armature of a mesh with the Mannequin skeleton

Why we need it

• animation created for Mannequin may be reused
• blueprints created for Mannequin may be reused
• Mannequin skeleton may be reused

What it gives you

• Free software (as in freedom)
• Skinning with Mannequin compatible armatures
• FBX export made easy (with correct scale)
• Mixamo to Mannequin skeleton transformations automation
• A bunch of automations

What it does not do

The primary goal of this add-on is to make Skinning easy. If you need to animate your characters, you should consider using EpicGames Blender Tools for that (e.g. Unreal to Rigify).
