Mr Mannequins Tools is a Blender add-on that exports animations and weighted meshes that are directly compatible with the third person mannequin that is available in Unreal Engine's Third Person Template, without re-targeting anything in Unreal Engine.
Features:
- an animation ready mannequin rig with IK, female bones and other various rigging features
- an animation ready first person gun rig (more rigging features at some point)
- an accurate Blender version of the mannequin and gun materials
- all mannequin, femmequin and gun meshes
- a basic pose interface with some useful rigging options
- a custom armature re-targeting script (use my rigging on almost any humanoid)
- a basic socket system for any object (more to come on this)
- the mother of all FBX export scripts (improved animation export code!)
- the father of all FBX import scripts (now imports meshes!)
If you want to know how the compatibility works, see Mannequin Compatibility Explanation.

You can get the add-on from several places:
- Download from Patreon. Early access releases posted here.
- Download from Gumroad if you want the most recent stable version.
- Download a released version from github if you want a previous release.
- Clone this repository with git. Note that the master branch is bleeding edge, but the intention is to keep it in a usable state.
NOTE: Due to a github limitation the Download Zip function (under the green Clone or download button) does not correctly download the .blend files, since they are stored using git-lfs.
