Why we like it

Armscale Fixer earns its place in the superhive library as a narrowly focused fix: it targets the animation breakage that comes from applying armature scale, and slots into the same CTRL + A workflow Blender users already know.

What is Armscale Fixer?

Armscale Fixer is a Blender add-on aimed at one specific problem: applying armature scale can break existing animations. The add-on applies armature scale while keeping animations intact, so you can rescale an armature without that breakage.

You can reach it two ways. From the Properties panel, select Armature and click the Fix Armature Scale button, or press CTRL + A, the same shortcut Blender already uses for applying scale. When an armature carries many animations or actions, Armscale Fixer fixes all of them rather than handling them one at a time.

The add-on is compatible with Blender 3.5.0 and above and is distributed under the GPL license. It installs through Blender's standard add-on preferences from the ArmScale_Fixer.zip file, then enables via a checkbox in the Add-ons tab. Once enabled, the fix becomes available directly in the Properties panel under Armature.

Who is Armscale Fixer best for?

Armscale Fixer is best for blender animators who need to apply armature scale on their armatures without breaking their existing animations.

How much does Armscale Fixer cost?

Armscale Fixer is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does Armscale Fixer work with Blender 3.5?

Armscale Fixer is compatible with Blender 3.5.0 and above, so any version at or beyond that release should be able to run it. The add-on installs through Blender's standard add-on preferences and adds its function to the Properties panel under Armature. If you are on a build older than 3.5.0, you would need to update Blender first before installing. For the current status on newer Blender releases, the developer's page is the best place to check before you download.

How do I install Armscale Fixer in Blender?

Armscale Fixer installs like a standard Blender add-on. Open Blender, go to Edit > Preferences, and select the Add-ons tab. Click Install, then navigate to the ArmScale_Fixer.zip file you downloaded and choose it, followed by the Install Add-on button. Once the add-on appears in the Add-ons list, enable it by ticking the checkbox next to its name. After that, the fix becomes available from the Properties panel under Armature and through the usual apply-scale shortcut.

How do I apply armature scale with Armscale Fixer?

Armscale Fixer lets you apply armature scale from two places. In the Properties panel, select Armature and click the Fix Armature Scale button. You can also press CTRL + A, the same shortcut you would normally use to apply scale in Blender. Either route applies the scale without breaking your animations. If the armature holds many animations or actions, the add-on fixes all of them rather than leaving you to correct each one individually.

Is Armscale Fixer free, and what license does it use?

Armscale Fixer is listed as free here in the catalog, and it is distributed under the GPL license. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the most current details it is worth checking the developer's page directly before you download. The GPL license covers how you may use and redistribute the add-on. If you want to confirm the latest terms or reach the creator with questions, the developer's page is the place to go.
