Can't create Norman rig

Support Animation and Rigging

I have installed all of the add-ons and turned them on in the User Settings. When I go to create the rig, nothing happens. Am I missing a step?

Yep, you should have attached your .blend…

If this is the norman rig that is installed as an addon, which then generates the character, it won’t work in the current version of blender. Check the site you downloaded it from, and check the date & version of blender it was created for. Since that character was created, blender’s python API has changed greatly, meaning the scripts that generate norman will need to be updated.

Thanks guys.

Randy. I got the rig from the Norman website. I don’t know if they have updated it for the current blender. If that is the problem, I am at lost.

It probably hasn’t been updated. The person that created that rig has since moved away from blender. There is another norman rig for blender, you can find it here: http://kiopaa3d.pagesperso-orange.fr/

This rig more than likely uses a python script to embed rig controls in the transforms panel in the 3d view. More than likely it’s script is out of date as well, but it’s a small script and easily fixed. If it’s not working, post the file someplace and post the link here, and I’ll fix the file to work with current version of blender.

As a side note: you do know that by default blender is set to not auto-execute scripts? You have to change this in user prefs (recommended) or run the scripts yourself each time you open the file…
