About

In practice. What you can do with Auto-Rig Pro.

Auto-Rig Pro adds an automatic bone-placement solver for biped humanoid characters inside Blender, plus modular rigging for fingers, tails and faces, animation retargeting (Remap) and FBX/GLTF export presets for Unity, Unreal and Godot. The Smart auto-placement mainly targets humanoid bipeds; quadrupeds and creatures still need manual rig setup, and automatic skinning depends on clean, water-tight mesh geometry.

It's a one-time purchase: $25 for the Lite version (core rigging) or $50 for Full (adds Smart placement, export and Remap), with 12 months of support and updates included; extending support afterward costs 25% of the price per year. Team licenses for 10 or 20 seats are also available.

Our verdict. What to know about Auto-Rig Pro.

How the score breaks down

Added value

A one-time $25-50 price with 12 months of support included is low compared to a subscription rigging tool, though continued support after year one adds a recurring 25% fee.

Simplicity

Automatic Smart placement speeds up biped rigging, but results depend on water-tight mesh geometry that not all source models provide.

Fit for purpose

Delivers automatic bone placement, animation retargeting and game-engine export as advertised for humanoid bipeds.

Performance

Covers humanoid biped rigging well with modular facial/finger/tail setups, but quadrupeds and other creature types fall back to manual setup.

Reversibility

Neutral score: rig and data portability outside Blender beyond the stated FBX/GLTF export presets is not covered by the collected sources.
