God I’m so happy I found this. Thank you so much!
I was getting there with the out of the box spring constaints, but this is so much more elegant and robust.

You’re my springy hero.

I’m rigging a fat character and will be using this to create jiggle.
Will send link later.

Hi
Im using the mt spring op for the first time, works great, very quick and simple.
but i cant seem to get mirrored sym. The method i use works but gives different dyn result for each side, (i duplicated my null, with Shared parrent on, & freeze negative scale off, then set neutral pose for the duplicated ob.., then created springs) is this wrong.
ps i need to get this duplicate sym work today if posible for this project.
can any one HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks

Nice work Helge.
We are using it now on a hair setup to get secondary motion working.
So far its holding up really well in our referenced asset pipeline.

what glorious fun this is.
im going to attempt to assign it to a bunch of preexisting bones, or perhaps just read positions/ rotations and bone lengths from preexisting bones.
thanks helge, Its fantastic to see things like this done with production in mind.

Hi there,

I’m using the spring addon and its great, but beyond a certain scale it gets unstable. Even when I scale the root null in a new scene it becomes unstable. Any help would be appreciated?

Thanks,

Chris

Fantastic! I can at least apply a good secondary motion to my characters !
Works fine!
Thanks a lot!

Hi there,
THanks so much for this cool tool!
One question however, once you have created the spring objects, is it possible to adjust the point they pivot around in order to fit it to my rig? I understand there is the option to scale the chain elements but the first bone doesn’t seem to pivot from the center of the first null.
