Spring Bones

Blender addon to add spring/bouncy dynamic effect to bones.

alt text

Warning, it's currently in a very early state, alpha-proof of concept. The effect applies to the bone position and rotation in option. It's not production ready, it's mainly a toy to play with. User support is not granted for it considering this early state, it may be buggy but still fun to play with :)

System Requirements

OS Blender
OSX Blender 2.80+
Windows Blender 2.80+
Linux Not Tested

  • Click "Enable Bone" to enable spring on a bone (must be a child bone)
  • You can adjust the "Bouncy", "Speed" and other parameters parameters such as collision
  • Click "Start" to enable the effect interactively, or "Start - Animation Mode" to enable it on frame change only (support baking)
  • When moving the parent bone, the child will move dynamically with bouncy motion
  • To bake, use the Blender baking tool: press F3 > type "bake" > NLA Bake
  • Multiple bones can be editted at once now, this makes for faster and easier experience.
  • Continous update makes it possible to make edits while animation plays. When OFF playmodes stop and need to enabled again manually.
  • Presets can be saved using the preset manager in the panel header. They are saved under userfiles > scripts > presets > springbones.
