Hey ehcya! Whenever i try linking/appending swingy bones to another blend file it doesn't work. I've used the documentation guide and followed it one to one, I've made sure all the names are the same when importing, but nothing seems to work. Currently I am using Blender 4.0 for this, but i've also tried doing it in 3.6 a few months ago. Maybe im just not doing it right or im misreading a step, but a short video on how to do this would definetely help 🙏

Nice Addon for blender! By the way do you have an idea of importing or exporting bone chains/collider/link/limits data? I am working on the environment which uses import and export options frequently, and that data doesn't seems like importing when I do importing/exporting. I've tried parameter options for importing the data, but it doesn't work for loading existed data from original definition. +I found the way on your docs. Thank you for your documentation.

this addon is crazy and i’m in love with it omg potential suggestion though, i’m not sure if it’s already a feature i missed - id love for collisions with non armature things (ie environment objects) in the future !
@ehcyaАй бұрын
Thank you for your comment, it means a lot! You're right, collision with other objects is currently not possible in a non hacky way, I'll see if I can find a good way to implement this is a way that doesn't kill performance! In the meantime what you can potentially do is create an armature for the world (you wouldn't even need to rig anything, just add it) and then add collision shapes to the different environment props by adding collision volumes to the root bone of this armature. and moving them around You could actually even optimize the computation time a bit by using the collision channels. Let me know if this is not clear!

@@frenchinator1436 Just to make sure that I understand correctly: -If you want to create some bone chains and then send the rig with non baked chains to someone else (that doesn't have the addon), it will not work in terms of previewing and simulation on their side since all the logic necessary for that is put in the addon file. -If you mean that you're working with a someone that provides you a "base" rig on which you want to append some physics, an easy way to do so would be to create your own armature and use the "child of" constraint to link the two on your setup. -If you mean that you want to send some finished animation to another person that doesn't have the plugin then a possible way would be to bake the simulation to keyframes with the associated operator Let me know what exact case you're in exactly and I'll be glad to help more!

I am considering about buying and using this addon for awhile, I am not sure if you could key frame, disable/enable and manually control the physic bones whenever you want. For example I want to make hairs stand up like cats do when surprised, or act like ears/appendages then resume to their physic sim. Is it possible to achieve such thing? Or you know, like tails switching between idle physic and manual motion. Another question is that, would you recommend merging it with the Rigify rigs or is it best to just keep them separate?
@ehcya3 ай бұрын
That's actually a great idea, something similar to Unreal Engine's notify states basically, I'll see what I can do in future updates! As for your second question it wouldd be up to you but I think keeping the simulated armature separate is probably better as you may want to regenerate the rig from the metarig later if you want to add more bones. In any case definitely feel free to reach out to me using the Blender market message system (you don't need to buy the addon for that) so we could share screenshots/videos more easily and I'll be happy to elaborate to help you decide whether or not the addon would be helpful for your use cases!

@ehcya4 ай бұрын
Sorry I somehow didn't get the notification! The tricky part is to make collision detection fast enough and considering what the Blender API offers me I have to balance a lot of design decisions to make it work fast enough! I'm planning to do some experiments to potentially add support for more collision profiles and see if I can find a good way that would work fine in a variety of setups. However don't be worried, these sphere and cylinder shapes are widely used by big AAA studios like Capcom, Square Enix, Bandai Namco etc to simulate a big variety of meshes (from dresses, jackets, hair etc etc) so it's definitely possible to make it work! :) Boxes are usually avoided to more expensive computation and the fact that they can get stuck or rotate the associated vertices in an un-natural way. Here are a few examples of setups used by the aforementionned studios: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoKyq4Clg8Z1lbc kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3OqmWuXrsSahM0 cgworld.jp/feature/202012-ffvll-02.html Thank you again for your support and stay tuned for potential upcoming updates! :)
