What is Skin Selection?

Skin Selection is a Blender addon to select bones controllers intuitively, by clicking the mesh surface. 

Compatible with any rig/armature.

Check the video demo to use it: for Blender 2.8x or Blender 2.79

Important remarks/ known issues, please note that:

• Selection can be wrong in ortho mode, switch to perspective mode (numpad key 5)
• With mirror modifiers, the name of the bones controllers must end with a two characters side, eg: “hand.l” or “hand_L” for left, “hand.r” or hand_R” for right side.
• If multiple bones are included in the vertex group, they must be from the same side
• Selection highlight backface culling doesn’t work properly with Blender 2.9x versions
• Performances are generally fine for models made of ~25.000 polys. However with surface subdivision turned on, bone selection may be slower. Use Subsurf’s open subdiv feature for better performances (Blender 2.79 only for now)

Usage:

1)Create the vertex groups:

• Under the Vertex Groups Creation label, add up to three bone controllers.
• Click Create VGroup. A corresponding vertex group is added. The group are easily recognizable with the fs:” prefix for “face selection” vertex groups.
• Assign the faces/vertices for this vertex group.
• Optionally if the group is from the right or left side, click Mirror Selected VGroup to mirror it on the other side.

2)Display options:

• Optionally change the display parameter: color, alpha…

3)Click Start! 

• Only the meshes will be displayed.

4)Click an area on the mesh to select the associated controller. 

• Click to select the first mapped controller, hold Shift for the second, and Alt for the third.

5)Press escape key or the Stop button to go back to the normal mode.
