= Description =
Skeleton updater tool allows to update existing character armatures on character items or models to a new standard introduced in 1.2.1 version of AR.

Enfusion engine expects that characters and their equipment use exactly same amount of bones and if that condition is not fulfilled, then animations on the gear will cease to work.

Tool itself removes all children bones of head, appends new head bones from template blend file and then also unifies the bone transformation on all remaining bones (some of the bones changed their location too).{{Feature|warning|'''Do not use this tool for updating animation rig!''' For this there is separate tool - [[Arma_Reforger:Enfusion_Blender_Tools:_Rig_Updater|Rig Updater]]}}
