[Kickstarter] Boner3D - Cheap autorigging for Unity, Unreal, and others

Hey everyone,

Just thought I would share this awesome tool that has recently appeared on Steam Greenlight concepts called Boner3D.

Here is a video of it in action

Keep in mind that it is a prototype at the moment. :slight_smile:

hahahahahah, nice name!

More importantly, I hope it works well. Could be a great tool. If it works and its relatively cheap, very nice!

*I would definitely change the name though lol.

I assume Bon3D was taken by disgruntled modelers.

LOL boner3d hahaha

Hilarious name and looks like a kickass tool for programmers like me that even struggle with Rigify :slight_smile:

Nice!
How’s the tool’s accuracy? How it compares to mixamo autorigging?
And what’ll be the pricing?

From what i’ve seen I’ll be surely getting a boner.

There used to be a tool exactly like boner3d for FPSCreator, except it didn’t have individual fingers, but it had a rig and you simply fit your mesh onto the rig, it would guess and assign the vertices to the bones, and then would let you fine tune the verts or find any that weren’t assigned.

Looked on their site but don’t see it anymore and can’t remember the name, but it looks exactly like the video in OP.

Hey,

Just updated the original post with social media info. For those of you wanting to keep up to date on the happenings of Boner3D.

Further more - Boner3D is at the top of /r/gamedev - Link

@iKonrad - I would ask on the Steam Green Light page. Just trying to keep feedback in one place. :slight_smile:

My Boner fixed everything for me. Thanks Boner!

When the mood is right, and you need to get a boner, are you just left feeling “flat” and “two-dimensional?” Ask your doctor about a prescription for Boner3D today. Life is better when your D is 3D.

I don’t want to come off as pompous animator, but isn’t that kinda useless?
Why the hell would anyone want to use some one else’s animations? 0.o
Awesome name though.

I think the main selling point is the auto-rigging feature. You can then animate it however you want afterwards.

You are missing the whole point of the program… its called BONER3D. Why else would anyone buy it?

(PS I wouldn’t buy cause I am a programmer but I would buy just to say I have a boner in my computer)

The maker of this is Josh Klint. He is the developer and producer of the Leadwerks Engine and the owner/ceo of Leadwerks.

He is a gifted coder and an arrogant ol’ moo. :slight_smile:

Arrogance aside when he sets his mind on a goal he gets there. I remember Leadwerks engine when it was first released and although a little quirky was Game Dev Ready. Looking at it now it has evolved in to something quite special.

Oh! Josh also developed CharacterShop. This I believe was his first attempt at Autorigging Software and he made a pretty good job of it. Oh! Character Shop when released, talking a long time ago here, was better than 80% of what was feasibly affordable for indies at the time i.e. it was a cheap tool that did a damn fine job compared to its expensive other AutoRiggers who’s price tags were tripple.
