Looks amazing

[@frenchinator1436]

This has made things so much easier for me! Definitely worth the 14€ price tag

[@ehcya]

Thank you so much, it means a lot! Glad that you enjoy the addon!

[@frenchinator1436]

@@ehcya You're welcome! I have a question though. Can I create a bone chain with physics, and the share that same rig with people that don't have the addon?

[@ehcya]

@@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! Also feel free to continue this conversation in Blender Market's DMs (even if you bought it on gumroad) using the "contact creator" button, we'll be able to exchange more easily and share screenshots there!

@@ehcya Yes, I did mean to ask if I could share created bone chains with someone who doesn't have the addon. It is unfortunate, but no big deal. Thanks again.

Now time has come to say goodbye to Laggy Cloth Sim in Blender, your Addon just got better and surely will get bigger ❤ I can't wait to start experimenting with these new features 🌟 You rock as always, keep up 👏

Great stuff!!

[@asmaasalhen1024]

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@kayondomartin2170]

Hey this looks great , Cant this animation be baked out into fbx format for game engines

[@ehcya]

Hey, yes you can! Simply bake the simulation to keyframes and you will be able to export it!

[@leo3935]

Does this works for mmd models and will be cool if u make tutroial about it

[@ehcya]

As long your model have bone chains then it will work, I'm not familiar with MMD myself but I'll consider looking into it and make a small tutorial if I have the time!

[@leo3935]

@@ehcya thank you so much !!!!

[@verdict504gd3]

does this work for meta rig or control rig

[@ehcya]

Hey, I'm only familiar with Blender's meta rig, not control rig (I only know about Unreal Engine's) and I can confirm that it works, feel free to send me a message on Blendermarket (link in the description) and I'll send you some advice if you need it!
