Clay Magnet
Animate & Pose your characters without seeing the rig.
Clay Magnet hopes to completely overhaul posing and animation.
No hunting for controls. No digging through UI for Bone Collections.
Easy on the eyes, Very literally.
Watch the demo on YouTube
Very important Updates are on the way.
I hope this makes you excited as much as it does me.
Notes for Version 1.0:
- Avoid tagging bones too close together for easier picking, this issue will be worked out with future updates.
- Custom rig shapes sometimes appear offset; you’ll quickly learn where each bone is and its easy to remember (e.g., hover over the belt for the hip bone, between the feet for the root, and usually near the ankles for the feet).
Tutorial
This is all you need to watch.
You can select the bones and tag them one by one, or select all of the chosen bones together by shift clicking, and then press the Tag Bones button.
Once Tagged they will work with the F button.

Make sure to report bugs to me and ill get right on them.
Productivity Note :
To switch between seeing UI and no UI easier, I like to set a mouse shortcut for the “Turn off/on UI Overlay” button usually at the top right area of blender. (right-click it in Blender and assign your preferred key, for example the 4th mouse button).
You can use this addon just for the blocking stage, in combination with Bone Collections and as a complementary way of clicking the bones quicker without having to focus for precision , Use the tag function as a priority setting for the bone you know you would want to pick in a messy area so you don't have to focus or squint just to avoid hitting a finger when you wanna pick the Hand IK.
You'll get the Clay Magnet 1.0 addon For Blender 4.1
