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