Randomize_Bones_Pose stands out in the Blender Extensions library because its 2.0 release answered user requests directly, adding Pose Mode and selected-bone randomization that reviewers had asked for, alongside seed control and symmetry options for repeatable, mirrored results.
Randomize_Bones_Pose is a Blender add-on from IZ.MdVerz that randomizes the rotation, location, and scale of bones on a selected armature. With a single click it applies new random transformations, giving characters and particle animations unexpected poses. You can choose to add the randomness to the current transform or replace it with a fresh random transform, and fine-tune the noise scale for rotation, location, and scale to control the degree of variation. The add-on works in object mode, with its controls available from the N panel.
Version 2.0.0 reworked the interface and added several controls based on user feedback. Selected Bones Only support lets you randomize just the chosen bones in Pose Mode, while random seed control makes results reproducible. A symmetry option handles automatic left and right bone mirroring using .L/.R and _L/_R naming, and axis-specific X, Y, Z sliders offer per-axis precision. Timeline randomization applies changes across multiple frames, and the release adds Blender 5.0 compatibility.
Keyframes for the new transformations are inserted automatically, which makes it straightforward to adjust the resulting animations, including varied or looping motion. Randomize_Bones_Pose is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer and is distributed under the GPL v3.0 or later.
Randomize_Bones_Pose is best for character and particle animators who want quick randomized bone poses, reproducible variation, and randomization across multiple frames on Blender armatures.
Randomize_Bones_Pose is completely free to download and use.
Randomize_Bones_Pose lists compatibility with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so current 4.x installs are covered. Version 2.0.0 also adds Blender 5.0 compatibility, extending support to that release. The add-on works in object mode on the selected armature, with its controls available from the N panel. If you're on an older build, check the developer's version history, since the listed compatibility applies to version 2.0.0.
Randomize_Bones_Pose added Selected Bones Only support in version 2.0.0, which lets you randomize just the selected bones in Pose Mode. This was introduced based on user feedback requesting pose-mode control. Alongside it, version 2.0 brought a symmetry option for automatic left and right bone mirroring using .L/.R and _L/_R naming, plus axis-specific X, Y, Z sliders. For the base workflow, the add-on operates in object mode on the selected armature.
Randomize_Bones_Pose is listed as free in this catalog and is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. The extension does not require special permissions to run. For the most current licensing terms and any usage conditions, refer to the developer's page on the Blender Extensions site, where IZ.MdVerz publishes the add-on and its version history. Licensing details can change, so the developer's page remains the authoritative source.
Randomize_Bones_Pose runs in object mode on the selected armature, and you access its features from the N panel in the viewport. From there you can randomize the rotation, location, and scale of bones and choose whether to add to the current transform or replace it with a new random transform. Installation follows Blender's standard extension flow: drag and drop the add-on into Blender, or download it and install from disk.
Randomize_Bones_Pose includes random seed control, added in version 2.0.0, which lets you reproduce results by reusing seed values. That pairs with axis-specific X, Y, Z sliders and adjustable noise scale for rotation, location, and scale, so you can set the degree of randomness. The add-on also supports timeline randomization, applying randomization across multiple frames, which suits building varied or looping animations.
