My rigify options in the N panel seem to vanish every so often. The options I’m looking for are the slider bars and the toggle rig layer buttons.
I thought I could get to them by pose mode and clicking a bone, but now they aren’t there… or… maybe I did something else to get them to show up?
What are the EXACT steps to show them?
Along those lines, is there any way to “pin” or make the rigify options a floating window? So they are always there, regardless if I’m in weight paint mode, object mode, edit mode, whatever?
I’m curious as to how you guys handle your weight painting/animation workflow. At any moment in time, I know what I need to accomplish on the rig, but I find myself getting lost in the interface, the different modes, the rig layers, and it always takes me three or four clicks to get back into the right context.
Rigify options can disappear if you’ve rigged your character on an older version of Blender, in this case a feature can sometimes fix the problem : go to help on the top of the screen and, FCurve/Drivers version fix.
Also, when you link a rigify rigged character, the options won’t appear, you need to append the rig_ui.py script from your source character blend file, to open the script in the text editor, and to run it.
Anyway, on other cases, perhaps rerunning the rig_ui.py script could fix the problem.
I have the same problem with the riggify options in the N panel don’t showing up, I’m not a programmer and I don’t know how the heck I could fix this, I don’t understand what you say, is there other simple way to fix it? Like maybe reinstall blender or something? Or maybe someone can explain it to me as I was a child
For anyone coming across this.
The python file is likely already in the blend file; just go to scripts tab and look at the available text file options in the dropdown.
If it’s there just select and run.
Okay, I’m also facing this issue, now with Daz characters coming to Blender.
I have the rigify Daz character in Blender, but when I’m appending it the Rigify Panel doesn’t show.
I noticed the script for the rig is the problem but I don’t know how to fix it.
Please help?
Way old but same prob. Created a rigify rig out of samples. Generated the rig no probs, “Successfully generated: ‘RIG-Metarig’”.
N-Panel Rig Layers section contains 7 blue buttons without any text, with one button underneath with Root written on it.
I go into the text editor, open Rig-Metarig_ui.py and run. Info returns: bpy.ops.text.run_script() with green tick. No further info. No difference to Rig Layers section.
