Linking and library overrides: Wiggle 2 works properly on library linked assets, with overrides allowing you to tune your wiggle to each scene.
Baking refinements: One click bake converts an objects visible wiggle bones into key frames. Preroll options allow your simulation to settle. Or use it with the timeline looping option for generating seamless wiggle on animated loops.
Refreshed interface: Everything can be managed from a single panel in the 3d animation view for streamlined, fullscreen workflows.
this is an intersting idea (no rotation limits yet, but i could investigate). also it seems the physics perfer that there is an anchored parent somewhere in the bone chain. on the flip side, my quick test somehow generated a rudimentary attempt at a walking ai??
also lest i only share failed cases, hereās some working examples:
Hey maybe modify the old thread and put the link for this one in the first post?, the other one is really easy to find on google, for this one i need to find the other one, and then get to the bottom to go to the link that gets me here.
I got a feature request/suggestion, if you dont āoverrideā the current action, its very jarring to get a new action with no animation and just the sim result, wouldnt it be better that iād keep the current action in place, and add a new action in the nla on top of it with the result of the sim only so the user can see the entire result?
yeah i agree! i believe this is how i had tried to handle it in the previous version. I think the gotcha was some people who were unfamiliar with the NLA didnāt understand what was happening (their character was still animated but didnāt appear to have any keyframes in the action editor etc).
My logic was the ability to overwrite or create a new action with just the specified bones more closely matches the default behaviour of the generic bake action operator. but of course that defeats some of the purpose of having a specialized bake wiggle option, so i can definitely be swayed to keep the older behaviour!
I canāt find āWiggle 2ā N panel anywhere. Thereās not a tab.
The only thing I can see (in pose mode at least) is this panel.
I donāt have a ācollisionā picker panel like you show here.
Where do I need to check to create the pinning and collisions for the bones?
Also, I went to the github, opened the .py and read about the WIPs at the end of the codeā¦
I cant find addon in install menu I select zip but I cant activate in addons menu. I try to search as 'āwiggleā but nothing appears. Also it doesnāt automatically appear like other addons do when you choose zip. What Im missing?
@PierreSchiller It looks like you have the old version of the addon. i realize that the first link in my post goes to that old version to give context, but that might be confusing. Iām going to update the post to try to add clarity!
@Furkan_Can_Kaya perhaps you downloaded the entire source code respository zip? the addon itself should just be the python file āwiggle_2.pyā which you can select directly when installing in blender.
All you need is the python file from the release page here:
Still getting up to speed on best practices for working with github, apologies!
Excellent work! big fan of V1 and V2 seems to be even more powerful, but I have come across an issue.
In ye olden version I used a driver to turn it on or off, which worked great. But it still seems to damp movement when disabled this way.
I recorded a video and made an account, but new users canāt upload attachmentsā¦
The driver was put on the āBone tailā tickbox, the driver value was simply a custom int (0/1) property on another bone.
Once again, thanks for wiggle bones! Thereās nothing like it.
ahh yeah i think i know what youāre talking about.
in the previous version, were you driving the āactiveā checkbox?
without getting too deep into things, i still need to reimplement that functionality, but i will try to make it a priority (there is a simple solution - it just adds yet another checkbox for users to manage)
