Facts

Purpose
Mesh2Rig is a Blender add-on for baking mesh animations and deformations into a standard skeletal rig.github.com · 4 Oct 2026
Supported inputs
It is designed for Cell Fracture and rigid bodies, cloth, soft bodies, shape keys, and other complex mesh deformations.github.com · 4 Oct 2026
Bone generation
Automated bone generation uses KDTree proximity to place bones inside the mesh, with a Simple Mode that uses one bone per object for rigid debris.github.com · 4 Oct 2026
Deformation workflow
It automatically sets up Surface Deform modifiers for deformation without manual weight painting.github.com · 4 Oct 2026
Animation baking
One-click baking converts mesh animation into standard skeletal animation Actions.github.com · 4 Oct 2026
Batch processing
Batch Processing works on Blender collections and can rig, bind, and bake hundreds of objects sequence by sequence.github.com · 4 Oct 2026
Smart merging
Smart Merging combines generated rigs and meshes into a single Master Rig and Mesh while preserving animations.github.com · 4 Oct 2026
Adjustable controls
The single-object workflow exposes maximum bone count, bone proximity, bone length, and optional bone-merging controls.github.com · 4 Oct 2026
Notable limitation
The README recommends leaving rotation constraints off for automated rigs with high bone counts to avoid rotation artifacts.github.com · 4 Oct 2026
Cleanup step
After finalizing a rig, the maker says to remove the original animation sources, such as cloth simulation, cache modifiers, or shape keys.github.com · 4 Oct 2026
Intended users
The maker describes it as useful for game development optimization, baking cloth or soft-body simulations to bones, and managing destruction scenes.github.com · 4 Oct 2026
Tutorials
The project README links an official tutorial and a video overview of update 2.5.github.com · 4 Oct 2026
Maker profile
The GitHub profile describes Sporenoe3D as a Blender add-ons creator.github.com · 4 Oct 2026
