Nothing change after enabling the addon

[Metirof]

Hello,

I followed the instruction in documentation to download and install the addon to blender 2.8 but for some reason nothing changed after enabling the addon i cant see the gamerig layer on properties nor in item section,

What i did in details :
1 - downloaded addon from https://github.com/SAM-tak/BlenderGameRig/releases/tag/v1.1
2- opened new blender default scene
3- deleted the box
4- added a basic quadruped metarig
5- went to edit -> preferences -> addon
6- clicked on install and selected the recently downloaded zip
7-addon successfully added to the list so i enabled it by clicking checkbox
8- go back to scene click on metarig on object mode
9-select armature section
10- but cant find gamerig layer on the properties so i can generate

any help would be appreciated thank you,

Hi,

please make sure you add a "GameRig" instead of a basic rig.

After that, go to Pose or Object Mode and the GameRig Stuff should be visible.

Thank you for your response. Im wondering if there is any way to use it with a character that is already animated and rigged using rigify ? Cuz i already done the animations and rigging using rigify but it didnt worked correctly in unity thats why i wanted to switch to your GameRig. If not i guess ill start over using gamerig from the beginning PS : sorry for late reply i was away for holidays Thank you again :)

It's possible, but I think it would be a bit of a struggle.
GameRig doesn't offer an easy way to do it.

GameRig cannot convert Rigify's metarig to GameRig's metarig automatically.
I think most easy way is starting with GameRig's Human metarig template, and align bones to your Rigify's bones manually, and merge bones other than Rigify's rig bones.

Since Rigify should generate a controller bone with a name like 'thigh_ik.L', and the corresponding GameRig controller bone is named 'c.thigh_ik.L', you'll need to add prefix 'c.' for the existing action's data path.

Or you can do batch conversions with a script, but you need to prepare a dictionary of corresponding names yourself

https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/99504/renaming-animation-channels-with-a-script

Even if you do this, the animation won't work completely correctly because the initial rotation of the bones generated by GameRig is different in some places from that of Rigify. (e.g. hand, foot, etc.)
You will need to fix these manually.

Thank you very much for your reply ill try it and hope it works other wise ill restart using GameRig from the begining
