backwards bending knees in some poses/animations with pole_vector = 0
A proper layout for different bones (muscle, helper, MCH, etc.) to Rigify layers is a mission feature for now.
update 0.6.0

update 0.5.3:
fixed: renaming vertex groups for legacy mode
Hi, i tried to transfer weights from mb to rigify but seems there are bones missing from vertex groups.Mb has fewer bones than rigify that deform. Am i doing something wrong?
Bw i tested on 2.8
Could it be you mean this: (see one of the previous posts): Weight paint for the neck bones “DEF-spine.004” and “DEF-spine.005” needs to be done manually! MB-Lab rig has one neck bone. The default Rigify rig has two neck bones.
Thanks! I am all new to Blender, but I finanlly found this - not by using “View3D”/tools - but using shortcut key N.
However I also added the Rigify, and that gives four buttons to press… the first ‘Add Meta rig’ reports “Missing”, when hovering over. The other two, i do not know what they actually do…
Well, I forgot to write the description. I just wrote bl_description = "MISSING" in the code and forgot about it. That was unintentional trolling. Sorry!
Thanks - just in case, can you tell me why i can not parent two objects. In 2.79 you can drop one object on the other… and it will be shown. In 2.8 you can either link or parent, but you can not see that it is done. Also when you export it… the two objects are separated - drives me nuts!
Found that in that view you can not see the parrenting - you need to go to the other view in the same panel, forgot what it is called… still a silly newbi…
I got the muscle rig working with rigify rig - kind of. There are some issues I could not solve. The knee IK targets are crossed. The feet are rolled in. This makes the feet go unter the ground.
This code is for testing only! Don’t damage your work!
Select the “MBlab_sk_” rig and run this to get the rigify rig:
This takes a long time.

Select the mesh “MBlab_bd_” and run this for renaming the vertex groups:
import bpy
for name, v_group in bpy.context.active_object.vertex_groups.items():
new_name = "DEF-" + name
v_group.name = new_name
Hey @DanielEngler am i doing something wrong or the naming of vertex group in blender 2.8 for riggify is no more the same as what the addon changes to.
I’ll start to rewrite the add-on next week. There are too many issues. Starting with fact, that putting two add-ons in the same tab causes trouble. Other issue will be solved, too, like manual wight paint and renaming will be more simple.

Sorry!
