Skuddbutt's Raven

If there are any bugs, please notify me on Twitter

@BDAnimare and @Skuddbutt on twitter so we can see what you make!

Features

• Rigify FK/IK Rig Base (IK/FK & FK/IK Follow/Snap, Rubber Tweak Bones, Pole Switch)
• Custom UI Panel
• Optimised for Subdivision
• Shapekeys accessible from Rig UI
• Switchable Penis
• Eye Glow Controls
• Material Controls
• Costume Selector
• Skin Selector
• Modifier Control

All rig settings can be customised in the Rig UI Panel. This Panel can be found in the N-Panel in the 3D-View. Go to the Item Tab to see it.

If the panel does not load automatically, check the FAQ below on how to do it manually.

The IK/FK related settings like FK/IK follow, snapping, rotation isolation can be found in the Switches Drawer

Eye Color and Glow Intensity are located in Effects

Changing the Outfits and the Outfit Colors is done in the Materials Drawer

Modifier Controls like Subdivision, Corrective Smooth and Solidify, live in the Modifiers Drawer. The Global Checkbox in front of the part name allows you to disable all modifiers at once.

Shapekeys, like Mouth Shapes, Body Proportion Adjustments, Belly Bulges, Pregnancy are all sorted into the Shapekey category.

If you have problems with this file, read the below notes on this Project Page.

Should that not solve them, hit up the Smutbase Discord Server https://discord.gg/T2DBVzH

Please note that if your problem could have been solved by reading the Project Page and you still ask me because you did not read through it, you will suffer my displeasure.

FAQ

My Viewport is all pink

The model's environment texture is not packed in with the file to save space. You would normally link or append this model from the library into your scene file, which will override these settings anyway.
You can simply assign one of blenders default environment maps, if you want to look at the model in varying lighting conditions. In a default install you will find these in Blender\2.XX\datafiles\studiolights\world\. Look for EXR files.

How to Link a Model

If you plan on linking a model, you should open the library file and hide the Armature of the rig contained within. This will avoid showing you overlapping armatures of the linked object and the Proxy Armature that you need to pose it.

I do not hide the Armature by default, because that makes people opening the files go: "Hey, there are no bones! Why isn't this rigged." I apologise for this inconvenience, please educate people about this weird behavior so we can in the future hide all our shameful rigs in our library files.

Remember: Conceal it, don't feel it. Don't let it show.

To link a model from a different blend file, place your 3D-Cursor where you want it to spawn in. Then go to File > Link
Browse to the blend file that contains your desired models and double click it
The browser will now show you the Data Blocks that make up that file. From these, chose "Collections". From the list of available collections, chose the one that has the name of the object you want, for instance, the collection that contains the rig for the Armature.Handcuff is named just that. Deactivate the "Instance Collections" Checkbox in the right side Properties Panel, then hit the "Link" Button.

Your model is now in the scene, but you will not be able to pose it. To achieve this, select the linked object and run Object > Relations > Make Proxy.
In more complex models, this will bring up a list of objects to make the proxy off of. From these you will select an Armature Object. For these models in this pack there is only one choice, so pick it and you will have a posable Proxy Armature.

If you link in your file and the rig panel is NOT appearing, do not be alarmed, this is a security thing.
You will have to reload the script manually.
There are 2 ways of doing this:

The first is to save the Scene File and then running File > Revert. This will reload everything that is a dependency of the file, which includes the script.

The second way is to switch the Outliner Panel to "Blend File" Mode, Locating the linked File that is to be reloaded and right-clicking it, then selecting "Reload".

One more important thing to mention about Linked Content is this: Any change that is not keyframed in your Scene File will be overwritten with information from the Linked Library File. So if you link a character and pose it, but you do NOT keyframe the bones' Location, Rotation and maybe Scale, those changes will, on re-loading the scene file, get lost and your pose will be reset to the rig's Rest Pose.

How to Append a Model

Luckily, Appending is nowhere near as complicated as Linking a model. Basically, Appending is just glorified Copy'n Paste. Just like with Linking, go to File > Append. From the Browser select the same Data Blocks, the Collection named after the model you want to append. As before, keep the "Instance Collections" Checkbox unchecked. And that is it.

No Rig UI in the Side-Panel

To open the Properties Panel (also known as the N-Panel) Press N or click the small arrow icon on the right side of the 3D-View Window. The Rig UI should be in the Item Tab If it is not there, this is most likely due to your Automatic Python execution being disallowed. This is a safety default.

To run the python file that creates the rig panel, either go to your Preferences > Save & Load > Blend Files > Auto Run Python Sripts and enable this, then reload the file by going to File > Revert and confirming that, or

Opening a Text Editor Window, selecting the Rig_UI python file from the dropdown that lists the text files in the current .blend and then Running Script. This will manually execute the code and build the Rig Panel.
