Installing into Blender:
Blender 4.2: You don't need to download anything via browser. Just open Blender's Extensions panel, and search for CloudRig.
Blender 4.1:
Same as any other Blender add-on:
- Download the repo as a .zip.
- In Blender, open Preferences->Add-ons->Install... and browse the .zip.
- Enable CloudRig.
Blender 4.0: This version of Blender is not supported.
Blender 3.6 and lower: Grab the appropriate version from the Releases page. These need to be installed through Rigify.
What is CloudRig?
CloudRig is a rig generation add-on for Blender, developed by the Blender Studio for our Open Movies.
You can support the development of CloudRig by becoming a Blender Studio subscriber!
Getting Started
Add the pre-built human metarig via Add->Armature->CloudRig MetaRigs->Cloud Human. Generate the rig via Properties->Object Data->CloudRig->Generate CloudRig. And bam, you have a rig!
Learning Resources
- Check out the wiki!
- Up to date videos for the new standalone CloudRig in Blender 4.1 will be created soon™.
- For Blender 3.6 and below, check out my old video documentation series. (for Studio supporters)
- I have some live streams of creating the rig for the free Snow character.

Example Production Rigs
Since CloudRig is used to rig Blender Open Movie characters, and the resources of those movies are released to the public (sometimes for supporters, sometimes for everyone), there is a whole host of CloudRig character rigs available for you to download:Wing It! (Blender 3.6)
Charge (Blender 3.5 - 3.6)
Sprite Fright (Blender 3.3 - 3.6)
Settlers (Blender 3.0 - 3.6)
Other
