Step-by-step guide
GleipnirRig
Install the Blender extension and rehearse a rig handoff with a generated example.
For Blender riggers preparing a saved collection for another animator to link and override.

Before you start
- Blender 4.5 LTS; tested in Blender 4.5.14 on Linux x64.
- Extract the purchased bundle and keep the included gleipnir_rig-1.0.1.zip intact for installation.
- A saved .blend with an ordinary armature and mesh collection; start with the generated example rigs.
Your first result
Install from disk
Extract gleipnir_rig-1.0.1-bundle.zip. In Blender 4.5, Edit → Preferences → Get Extensions → top-right menu → Install from Disk. Select the inner gleipnir_rig-1.0.1.zip, then confirm it is enabled in Add-ons.
Choose collection
Open a saved .blend, press N in 3D Viewport and select GleipnirRig. Choose the collection you deliver.
Run and review
Click Run Handoff Check. Review source audit and recipient simulation results, including manual checks and next actions.
Export or remove
Export Report & Recipient Guide to write HTML, JSON and text files. Uninstall from Preferences → Add-ons → GleipnirRig Handoff Check → Uninstall.
A worked example
Find an override problem before sending a rig
Input: The purchased generated gr_override_problem.blend fixture in the examples ZIP, with a collection named GR_Character.
- Open the saved example in Blender 4.5.
- Choose GR_Character and run the check.
- Inspect confirmed failures and export the report and recipient guide.
Expected result: The example reports non-overridable custom properties and a deforming armature outside the collection. The recipient simulation saves and reopens a linked test copy; animation quality is not certified.
Troubleshooting
The recipient simulation does not run
Save the .blend and rerun. Unsaved changes are deliberately refused.
The panel is missing
Check Blender 4.5 and that GleipnirRig Handoff Check is enabled in Add-ons; press N in the 3D Viewport.
Compatibility & limits
- Runs locally without uploads or telemetry. Exported reports can include file paths; review before sharing.
- Python drivers and rig UI scripts are never executed and require manual review.
- Windows/macOS, all rig types and animation correctness are untested.
