Management Tools

The Sedaia Rig Interfaces extension includes two specialized management tools: the Rig Manager and the Skin Manager. These tools are found in the Sedaia tab of the 3D Viewport sidebar.

Rig Manager

The Rig Manager is designed to help users find, download, and manage Sakura Character Rigs.

Fetching Rigs

  1. Download Manifest: Click the Refresh Rig List button. * Security Note: This requires Online Access in Blender.

  2. Select a Rig: Choose from the available rigs in the dropdown menu.

  3. Download and Install: Click the Download Rig button to download the .blend file to your local storage.

Rig Operations

Once a rig is downloaded, you can Append it directly into your current scene with a single click.

Skin Manager

The Skin Manager allows you to apply custom textures (skins) to your rigs.

Key Features

  • Player Skins: Download and save skins from various sources.

  • Applying Textures: Automatically applies the skin to the relevant material slots of the selected Sakura rig.

  • Local Cache: Skins are stored locally for fast re-application.

Using the Skin Manager

  1. Enter Player Name: Input the name of the character/skin.

  2. Fetch Skin: Use the Download Skin operator to retrieve the texture.

  3. Apply to Rig: Click the Apply Skin button to update your character’s appearance.

Security and Online Access

All management operations that connect to the internet are protected by a mandatory Online Access check.

If you attempt to download a manifest or a rig while Online Functionality is disabled in Blender’s Preferences, the extension will: 1. Cancel the operation. 2. Display a warning: “Online functionality is disabled in Blender settings.”

To enable this, go to Edit > Preferences > Extensions and ensure your internet connection is allowed.
