Renaming Bone script

Support Animation and Rigging

Hi,

I’m pretty noob with Python and Blender API, but I think this should work. Select your target armature, I don’t think it matters if you are in edit or object mode. Simply replace the dictionary items with your data.

import bpy

def rename_bones():
    
    dict = {
        'bone0': 'foo0',
        'bone1': 'foo1'
    }
    
    for b in bpy.context.object.data.bones:
        if b.name in dict.keys():
            b.name = dict[b.name]

rename_bones()

That .keys if will allow you to skip incorrectly named bones or extra bones which don’t have their name in dictionary.
