Save/load mapping presets

Reuse a mapping setup across similar rigs instead of redoing it every time.

Why use it

Once you've dialed in a shape-key or bone mapping for one rig, repeating that work for every similar character is wasted effort. Save Preset captures your current mapping, and Load Preset applies it to a new rig with a similar shape-key or bone naming scheme.

Steps in Blender

  1. 1Get your mapping right — Auto-Detect Mapping, with any manual overrides and Amplify adjustments.
  2. 2Click Save Preset to store it.
  3. 3On a new, similarly-structured rig: click Load Preset instead of remapping from scratch.
  4. 4Fine-tune from there if the new rig has minor differences.
