Ragdoll Tools earns its place in the superhive library for one-click ragdoll setup on armatures and common rigs, with symmetry options and non-destructive rigs. It is currently at version 1.5.2 for Blender 5.x under the GPL license.
Ragdoll Tools is an addon for generating ragdolls in Blender. It adds a ragdoll to simple armatures and commonly used rigs in one click, and most ragdoll manipulations can be done in both Pose Mode and Object Mode. The current version is 1.5.2 and it works for Blender 5.x, with support listed across Blender 2.79 to 5.1.
Hitboxes can follow bones softly, and animation can be transferred to bones in one click. You can select and copy ragdolls, set up constraint limits, apply left-right symmetry, and enable the ragdoll at any frame. All created rigs are non-destructive and can be deleted easily.
Distributed under the GPL license, Ragdoll Tools sits in the superhive library with documentation available on the developer's page. A demo video is also available.
Ragdoll Tools is best for blender artists generating ragdolls for simple armatures and commonly used rigs, working across Pose Mode and Object Mode with non-destructive setups.
Ragdoll Tools is completely free to download and use.
Ragdoll Tools lists support for Blender versions 2.79 through 5.1, and the current version, 1.5.2, works for Blender 5.x. This range covers a wide span of Blender releases, so the addon can be used across older and current versions. If you are on a specific Blender release, check the version support on the developer's documentation page to confirm compatibility before installing, since behaviour can vary between Blender versions.
Ragdoll Tools is distributed under the GPL license, a copyleft open-source license commonly used for Blender addons. For the full terms and any conditions that apply to your use, refer to the developer's page and documentation. Licensing details can change over time, so the developer's page is the most reliable place to confirm the current license before you rely on it for a project.
Ragdoll Tools lets you carry out most ragdoll manipulations in both Pose Mode and Object Mode. Alongside this, it can add a ragdoll to simple armatures and commonly used rigs in one click, transfer animation to bones in one click, and enable the ragdoll at any frame. All created rigs are non-destructive and can be deleted easily, so you can experiment without permanently altering your scene.
Ragdoll Tools is listed as free in this catalog. For current licensing and any purchase or download options, check the developer's page, since availability and terms are managed there. The addon is also distributed under the GPL license. If you want to confirm how to obtain it and what the latest terms are, the developer's page and documentation are the best places to look.
