A RedLoader research mod for Sons of the Forest that dumps character data to JSON: skeletons, skinned meshes, bind poses, blendshapes, materials, animators, player races and clothing. It is a data source for building character related mods, not a gameplay mod.

What it collects

For the local player, the bodies the player can carry, every actor type prefab and every live actor:

Rig: every bone with its parent, local position, rotation and scale
Skinned meshes: mesh name, vertex count, bone list, bind pose rest position and rotation per bone, blendshape names, materials with shader and texture names
Animators: controller, avatar, humanoid flag, human bone map, parameters
Rig families: characters grouped by identical bone sets, with bone name overlap against the player rig
Player only: current race, all 8 race entries with head and arms Addressable GUIDs, every clothing piece with item id, slot, renderable GUID, default and worn flags

Commands

Run these in the in-game console.

Command	What it does
`rigprobe`	Dump the player, carry bodies, all actor prefabs and live actors
`rigprobe <filter>`	Same, limited to actor types containing the filter, e.g. `rigprobe female`
`rigscene`	Dump every skinned mesh root in the loaded scenes, including cutscene characters
`rigspawn <Type> [variation]`	Spawn an actor in front of you so its live variant gets dumped, e.g. `rigspawn Virginia`

Output

Written to Sons Of The Forest\UserData\RigProbe\:

characters\index.tsv one line per character with rig family and player bone match
characters\rigfamilies.txt characters grouped by shared skeleton
characters\<source>_<name>.json full data per character
scene\ the same layout for rigscene

Each run replaces the previous output for that command.
