Version: V1.4
File Size: 10 MB
Download Ragdoll Tools for Blender on Windows, Mac, and Linux, a powerful add-on that automates the process of rigging and setting up ragdoll physics for any character. Create fully functional ragdoll simulations in seconds with intelligent joint placement, collision shape generation, and physics tuning—perfect for game developers and animators who need realistic character physics .
Key Features of Ragdoll Tools:
- Auto-Ragdoll Rigging: Automatically generate ragdoll physics setups for any rigged character
- Intelligent Joint Placement: Detects character anatomy and places joints at natural pivot points
- Collision Shape Generation: Automatically creates optimized collision shapes for each body part
- Physics Tuning: Adjustable mass, joint limits, damping, and stiffness for realistic behavior
- Keyframe/Physics Blending: Blend seamlessly between keyframe animation and ragdoll simulation
- Active Ragdoll: Characters maintain pose while reacting to physics forces
- Multi-Character Support: Set up ragdolls for multiple characters simultaneously
- Real-Time Preview: Test ragdoll physics instantly in the viewport
- Bake to Keyframes: Convert ragdoll simulations to editable keyframe animation
