hi, this addon was created at my request, for many years there's been attempts at "Skinify". "Auto Custom Shape" & the automatic skinning of armatures in a fast & easy way.
Thanks @karab44 for his time & most welcome donation.

This addon skins an armature/rig with a basic mesh& automatically rigs it.
The "Base mesh" is a capsule type & suitable also for quick sculpt fun.
Tested with Rigify & Import .bvh Animations.
Docs, Examples & Screenshots to follow soon.

@karab44 Thanks for submitting & working to tight deadlines.
Testing appreciated.

skinify.py v0.8 shoulder fix for rigify and pitchipoy.
Reason:
This will make shoulder structure and mesh topology nicer for sculpting.

PS
deformation bone layer (if exists) is recommended for working with advanced rigs.

Best Regards!
Albert
