What Empties To Bones does

Empties To Bones from Artell converts a chain of empty objects, animated or static, into an armature with a single click.

Bones get automatic consistent orientation that complies with Blender armatures, orientation axes are optional, and empty shapes can be converted to custom bone shapes. Useful for moving motion capture or imported hierarchies onto a real skeleton for retargeting and export. This is helpful when data arrives as a hierarchy of empties, such as from some capture or import workflows, and needs to become a standard skeleton.
