This looked good but name appears to be intentionally misleading.
Squid-IK, Full-IK, Dyna-IK; plenty of other relevant IK names to use that is also accurate to the product.
I wanted to try it but I don’t have money and the price is still a big ask (for my pocket).
I’ve also been burnt on paid addons that turned out to be useless for my actual usage.
Which is why I have to "ask" you a bunch of things instead of just going and figure it out myself (which is my preference)
Questionnaire:
- What does this do from a technical standpoint?
- I do lots of bpy, so I wanted to look at the code before actually trying to run it but that’s not an option available to me.
- I was mostly under the impression that it used a function in a handler to continuously transform bones for the desired effect, like Jiggle Armature does.
But then I noticed when initialized, constraints are added to the bones. - What purpose would those constraints serve, and how significant were they.
I’m left to completely speculate based on numerous possibilities.
- What about beyond/without the addon?
- I send my animation files to someone else for their own external usage. They already hate having to download Blender to view the files, worrying about them also having a required addon running is too much.
- Even if they had it, how does disabling the system work. Can you bake an animation without altering anything (remove pins/constraints/whatever).
- How does keyframe insertion work?
- One of your documentation sections said something about a "second" rotation and then you suggested people use your free keying set addon.
- You seem to manually insert keyframes for these demos however I ALWAYS use auto-keyframing when animating.
- Would you be willing to make a trade for this?
- Essentially my offer is you give me this for 0 moneys and I make it backwards compatible with 2.7 for you.
- I’ve done a lot of cross-version setup for my things, so the way I see it, the reason it’s not cross-version is one of two reasons:
- You don’t feel it’s worth the time/effort
- You do some particularly tricky or very specific things that aren’t technically possible in 2.7
- If it’s the second, then obviously there would be nothing for me to do.
- However if it’s the first, then that just leaves whether or not it’s worth giving the addon away to someone, to have it supported.
- The way I do my code, is setup just like 2.7 but everything is initial tested in and for 2.8. After they’re verified to work, I simply re-test in 2.7, and only alternate at very specific points for the difference in the versions.
- So, basically the code would work interchangeably between versions, and sections that specifically differ between versions would be easy to find.
- Essentially my offer is you give me this for 0 moneys and I make it backwards compatible with 2.7 for you.
If you decline my request, then these questions should suffice enough for me to ask other questions, with a clearer understanding.
