The Cookie Flex Rig was created by Nathan Vegdahl, Beorn Leonard, and Jonathan Williamson, based on an initial design by David Revoy. The rig is designed for maximum flexibility, with numerous controls for body shape, facial features and a small library of clothing and hairstyles. It’s intended to provide a great resource for learning and testing character animation in Blender.

I have been wanting this! Thank you so much!!!!

complicated rigs are usually the cause of an interested noob losing hope and thinking "ill never learn this, its too complicated for me", This rig looks like it will be the one that motivates the next nathan veghdal maybe??? who knows. thanks for sharing looks great and user friendly

You should buy the DVD "Blender Animation Toolkit" by Beorn Leonard and Nathan Vegdahl. It tells you everything you need to know about using this rid in order to make an animation.

I love this! This was worth the anticipation.

CG Cookie ROCKS! Thanks for this Nathan, Beorn, Jonathan, and David!

Thanks !!!

A rig with a few face rigs ready to test; I got to give it a try!

Great Blender Animation Toolkit, thank you very much! It looks interesting and fun.. Thanks for the Blender team because making the animation program! :) :) I LOVE BLENDER ANIMATION TOOLKIT!

i have download it but i don't see the models of the reference image ! An Error ?

The idea is that the rig is flexible enough to make many characters, including the one in the image above. Check out the character variation controls (to the right of the main rig). There are some example characters in the pose library.

This is like totally awesome. been waiting for sumdin like this. Now i just have to figure out how to work with and animate my items i made over on Sketchup 7.lol Any video tutorial suggestions please. ty.

This is a fantastic rig but, may I ask you a question? How can I append my character in another scene, ore use two characters in the same scene?

Thanks for great stuff. in ik fk switch over there is no option to swap pose

ik fk swap script

Hi Ashwin, Thanks for that! We didn't get around to adding an IK/FK switch. I'm looking into you script now. Maybe we can incorporate it in a future version.

Thanks again!

You guys rock I can't imagine the big expensive 3D packages having a supporting community even close to what you guys and gals provide for blender. Thank You

Awesome super cool!!!! I love Blender CG cookie and the tutorials are very informative and well presented.

Amazing flexibility in the character variations - Wow. IK FK switch will be great - this could be the goto rig for animation learning! I'd also love to see some clothes options that aren't quite so ... er... clingy on the girls' boobs. Not sure how you made these though. Shrinkwrap?

Please keep up the fab work!

i tried to install on blender 2.66 and i go to install addon and not working... is it a bug whith my version?
