Description:
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.

Edited December 13, 2012complicated 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

Edited March 16, 2013You 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.

Written January 30, 2013The 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.

Written March 28, 2013Hi 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!

Written April 08, 2013Amazing 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!

PictorSomni
Edited August 26, 2013It works, In the top bar of blender (just at the right hand side of the renderer list, it says "Autorun disabled..."), you have 2 buttons. If you click the first one ("Reload Trusted"), it will appears. ;)
-
freen
Edited September 04, 2013Yeah, this is to do with the new security measures in Blender. PictorSomni's comment is spot on. This rig uses a lot of python code, so it needs to be loaded as a "trusted" file.

Written January 30, 2014Apparently, it does not work in Blender 2.68. I don't understand what's wrong with it. I have kind of a weird little wadded up ball of meshes and no character as such.
It says "Tested in 2.67". You might need to check and see what's up in 2.68.
I was confused and wondering what was going on, until I accidentally opened it in 2.63, and saw that there is supposed to be a sample character model there.
Looking forward to learning this and trying it out -- seems like a great idea and contribution to the community. Thanks!

Written February 14, 2015Anyone know why it is still possible to edit the cookie flex rig when linked into a new scene.
-
TheMachete
Written February 17, 2015Maybe its script base that allows you to. So you can rename for instancing or duplication. Not fully sure though.
-
TheMachete
Written February 17, 2015I guess I'll have to get the DVD or go to cgcookie to find out how to use the pose lib when the armature is linked. Clicking the MakeLocal doesn't work. Everything is still blocked out
-
TheMachete
Written February 17, 2015Nvm. Link in actions and go into the action editor. Make the pose libraries local after that. The characters are awesome!

LightTransmission
Written June 07, 2015Thank you for this! I am new to Blender and I got the Animation Toolkit. I wanted to make a cat girl, so I used the rig to start and then I edited the model, removed the ears and reshaped them to cat ears and attached them higher on the head and some other stuff. The problem is that she only looks the way I wanted in Edit Mode. When I go to Object Mode, or when i render a picture, the changes doesn't show. Can anyone help me to make this work??

Written December 15, 2015how can i learn to do a rig like this, i mean with the make human model, then adding clothes and props hair, etc, is that coming in the DVD? can this be the pipe line?: Send the Makehuman mesh to blender; rig it in blender and save it as blender file, Create a new character in Makehuman and export it to blender and save it as blender file, open the the first makehuman blend file, then apend the second character and place it in pose library (this i don't know how t do it), so on and so forth... the morphs can be applied to the first one only or to every single character? how about the hair, props , clothes, etc?. any help would be appreciate!!
