Hello everyone,
Ragdoll Dynamics is finally coming to Blender!
What is Ragdoll?
Ragdoll is an addon for Blender and Maya that enables a real-time physics workflow for character animators.
What is this post about?
It’s early days for Ragdoll in Blender, and until it’s ready for a public release we are currently running a private beta for the most eager animators to help us develop workflow and features inside of Blender.
We welcome evey animator to come play with us!
If you are interested:
Go to this Contact Form
Write an introduction to who you are
along with your forum username
and your character animation portfolio
And we will add you into our Beta testing group
See you soon!

Thanks for all the likes! Also the main post has been updated
HOLY SMOKES!!! What are y’all working with, XPBD? It looks so good!
Thanks @ocularevolution ! Come join our beta testing group and we will tell you
A quick update about our addon:
Thanks to Blender Studio for the Dragonfly rig
From left to right:
A simple cycled up-down animation applied to the base of the Dragonfly
It’s then driving the Ragdoll simulation
Once we are satisfied, Ragdoll records the result and bakes it onto the rig
Profit!
And that’s basically what Ragdoll is for — adding the fun of physics to your animation workflow!
