Blender rigging assistant for animators

Build a plugin that simplifies character rigging in Blender. Animators drag hands and feet to pose models automatically.

Why now

3D animation is booming but rigging remains technical and time-consuming.

Who for
Blender animators
Business model
Paid Blender plugin
Effort
A few weeks

Animators waste hours manually positioning joints and bones in Blender. A plugin would let them pose models by dragging hands and feet, automating the underlying rigging math.

Freelance animators and small studios would pay for this as it speeds up their workflow dramatically.

The MVP could support basic humanoid rigs with a few preset poses.

The risk is Blender's plugin API changing unpredictably.
