It all started when I discovered Blender and started to play with character rigging.
Alas I couldn't find any auto-rigger that was suitable for me and so I decided to develop my own.
Later on, a friend joined me and here we are, BlenQuick Auto-Rigger, AKA BAR, was born...

In February 2025 we unveiled SNAPPY, the first, and so far only, 1 click body detection system that works out of the box and does it right as the best and the fastest on Blender (not a figure of speech or some AI generated blah blah, Snappy really is the most accurate and the fastest body detection system on Blender).

Fast forward to April 2026 and another breakthrough, now meet SNAPPY FACIAL!
The first, and so far only (again :D), 1 click facial detection system, and it works out of the box too...

• Performance: By far the fastest Auto-Rigger on the market, BAR makes complex rigging tasks a breeze. Binding, bone placement, final Rig, Rig export, duplicating or adding parts, parts toggling, all with unprecedented speed...
• Easy to Use: With our unique SNAPPY and SNAPPY FACIAL features, rigging characters becomes a quick and automated process. Select the character, click once to detect the markers and boom! BAR will place the bones for you
• Universal Rigging: From humans to animals with multiple limbs and from body Rigs to facial Rigs, not to forget vehicle Rigs and even clothing or accessories (like skirts, scarves, dresses etc.), BAR handles it all
• Customization: Customize the User Interface to match your needs with options for UI scaling and button styling
• Export in FBX and GLTF format, compatible with Unreal Engine, Maya, Godot, Unity and any other similar 3D animation program

• The Rig can be edited anytime, even after baking, because it's based on a non-destructive workflow

To summarize, whether you're working on humanoid or non-humanoid characters (be it animals or any strangely shaped creature), or even vehicles or objects, BAR eases the entire rigging process, saving you plenty of time and energy while maintaining excellent quality

• SNAPPY, Our One Of A Kind 1 Click Body Detection System For Humanoid Characters
