Coding Released Scripts and Themes
61

thanks a lot :slight_smile:

62

Thanks man

63

the link is down again… can you upload it to github or a more stable place?

64

I keep the most recent version here: https://github.com/Italic-/blenderpython/tree/master/scripts/addons_extern
I keep my fork and Meta’s fork in sync, so whichever is updated gets pushed to the other repo, too.

65

Thank you.

66

Check it out!

Greetings

67

has quick parent been released?

68

whenever I try to download the addon, it brings me to a page that says this: Nothing found The owner may have deleted the file or restricted access to it. Or you might have received a link with a typo. am I doing something wrong?

69

I found it here: http://pasteall.org/57037/python

You can find a more permanent home in addons_extern as anim_dynamic_parent.py

71

now the link is corrected

Thanks for this addon. I’m starting using it now in a job.

Is it normal that the addon creates ungrouped () channels for the bone? I select parent, I select child, I click on “Create” and ten channels are created for child bone: locXYZ, scaleXYZ, rotXYZ and Influence (of the constraint). But these channels are created outside a group (). If I use this addon with several bones, it would be a mess… :confused:

(*): when I say “group” I mean a group of channels of the (same) bone. Groups can be made from channels from different bones if you want. But, by default, a group is all the channels from the same bone.

Hey!, do you think we’ll soon see a version for 2.8, I really need it!

Sure! I have to rewrite the addon anyway because my code quality became better and now I have much deeper understanding of blender.
Actually, I planned rewrite the addon at the start of the next year. But after your message I’ll do it sooner.

Hey!

Here is the very first version of DP for 2.8
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romanvolodin/dynamic_parent/2.8/dynamic_parent.py

Baking currently does not working - Blender crashes when I trying to bake DP animation. Not sure if its bug in Blender or bug in the addon. Have to investigate more.

Also I have a couple of question to DP users =)

  1. What is the latest version of DP you using?
    My old computer is died (some time ago), so it will take a time to dig out my working files. I’ve found online v0.51 and used it as a base for 2.8 version. If you have something newer, please share.

  2. Do you have any feature request/bug report?

Happy New Year and see you later! =)

Hi Cronk,

in this version the baking works.

it gives me a traceback call, line 351.
Says:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module name ‘Dynamic_Parent_2’

I don’t understand coding at all. I would really appreciate any help.
