bone widget addon for 2.92?

posted to: Custom Bone Shape

Maybe the problem is on my end but I just downloaded and installed the bone widget addon and am using blender 2.92.0 but when I try to create a bone shape in pose mode I'm getting errors.

    Sometimes when you download it from Github it will keep the -master in the name.

    This will break it when you try to install and run it. (it can't find the right location because "-master" has been appended to the name)

    That solved it, thanks Wayne. Also just wanted to say I'm really enjoying this series. Realized my rigging skills were severely lacking so I resubscribed to cgcookie just for this course and it's totally worth it, so thanks Wayne.

    I'll second Colin's statement. I too realized my rigging skills were lacking! Thanks Wayne!

    Renaming the .zip by removing '-master' has given me the same rigging menu as you, Wayne, however i still have the error message when adding a circle for example.

    That solved the install issue for me too, after a bit of hair pulling. I'd also add, if anyone else is having trouble, after installing, the add-on showed in my add-on preferences, but gave an error when I tried enabling it. I had to quit and restart blender before reinstalling the add-on for it to enable properly. All great now and it's such a boon!! Thanks Wayne and the other developers.

    Can you show a video and/or the file you're working with Allen?

    I'm planning do do some more development soon.
