[WIP] Dynamic Parent addon

[Nefzen]

This is awesome!!! Thank you!!

I just found this through PlastmaSolutions on G+, and I must say it is a very welcome addon for my animation toolset. I noticed you released this as GPL, so I was hoping I could include this in the addons_extern repository on github. You may know this repo from sourceforge. You are fully credited and I include a download and forum link to all addons in the repo.

I know I technically don’t need your permission to include it since it’s GPL, but as a common courtesy, I’d like your approval first. Also, if you have a personal repository I can link to and update from, that’d be fantastic, too.

Hey! =)
The addon is almost done, i’ll release it in a couple of days. I’ll post a link or addon itself in this thread.

About your request: I can’t (and don’t want actually) change selection order. It’s Blender function, not mine. As well as adding only one constraint. It’s impossible in Blender, so it’s impossible in my addon.
Well, of course it is possible to write a custom code to change selection order and be able to add several constraints at once, but, to be honest, it has no sense for me =) I can’t see any reason to do this huge pile of the work.

Hey Cronk, couple of days or seven weeks…any word when you’ll be posting the “Finished” addon?

I’m sorry for the long absence. Here is a link to the addon page.

The addon works just fine for me, but it requires more testing so be careful.

Nice. Нет ничего лучше лаконичного исполнения.
Упрощает многие вещи.

Hi Roman, it seems the server has run out disk space, can’t download your add-on here

[comeinandburn]

this is a fantastic addon, it should really be included by default.

thanks so much!!!

[d3fmod]

Nice addon.
Btw, this doesnt seem to work with bones of the same armature.

Link leads to the old version 0.15 I’ve found 0.41 which is working with Blender 2.70 https://yadi.sk/d/p7ppbqpcNAgYi

Anyway: This is best addon for Blender I have ever seen!

Hey Man!, thanks this is a wonderful addon, i’ve had it amongst my favourite addons for a while, there’s something tho, i’ve noticed that at least in version 2.70x it isn’t working when you parent a geometry to a bone of a linked rig, would it be possible for you to fix that?
Awesome man, thank you!!!

This addon is AWESOME!! I just started playing with it, but already I do have a feature request.

The addon doesn’t respect tabs at all, so it shows up in every tab, adding to the sidebar mess. Can you make the script respect tabs and have it only show up in the animation tab?

Also, you mentioned something about baking in an earlier post. Did that ever get implemented? And what’s the workflow for it like?

Thanks again! This is a huge addition to blender’s animation toolset!

[fahr (Chad Gleason)]

Whoa, I didn’t know you could do that! Thanks!

But it would still be awesome if the script supported tabs by default.

[Cronk (Roman Volodin)]

I’m sorry for the silent from my side.
Here is the latest version of the addon - https://yadi.sk/d/-13zNfkPbmqQr - with tab, better cleaning and baking (now it can remove all created keyframes and constraints), also some bugs were fixed.

[Cronk (Roman Volodin)]
