Easy Soft Body earns its place in the Superhive library for pairing preset-driven setup with in-panel help videos, aimed at making soft body simulation approachable in Blender.
Easy Soft Body is a Blender add-on from Easy 3D focused on making soft body simulation quicker to set up. It works with any mesh and ships with three presets — Cube, Sphere and Torus — so you can reach a basic simulation without building everything from scratch. The add-on was made with Serpens.
According to the developer, Easy Soft Body runs faster than Blender's built-in soft body, and with one object the result can be real time depending on your scene and the number of polygons. The developer also compares the simulation speed of the two approaches in an accompanying video.
To help you learn the parameters, the add-on includes ten Question Mark buttons so you can check what each one does, and the developer has gathered the related parameter videos together. There is also a separate demo video showing the add-on in use. The developer welcomes suggestions by email and lists the add-on under a GPL license. It supports a broad range of Blender versions.
Easy Soft Body is best for blender users who want a quicker, simpler way to set up soft body simulations.
Easy Soft Body is completely free to download and use.
Easy Soft Body supports Blender versions 2.9 through 4.4, covering a wide span of releases. If you work across multiple Blender installations, this range means the add-on should fit most current and recent setups without needing a specific version. The developer lists this compatibility directly on the product page, so it is worth confirming there for the exact version you are running before installing.
Easy Soft Body is designed to be easier to set up than Blender's built-in soft body, which the developer describes as difficult on a first attempt. It adds three presets — Cube, Sphere and Torus — for a quick basic simulation. The developer also states it runs faster than Blender's soft body and can be real time with a single object, depending on your scene and polygon count, and provides a video comparing the two.
Easy Soft Body is listed as free in this catalog and carries a GPL license. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the current details and any purchase options it is best to check the developer's page directly. The add-on is published by Easy 3D, who also welcome suggestions for improvements by email, so you can reach out about the tool as well.
Easy Soft Body includes ten Question Mark buttons placed alongside parameters so you can check what each one does. The developer has gathered these parameter videos together into one place and also produced a separate demo video showing how the add-on works in use. Documentation is provided as well. Together these are meant to make the add-on easier to work with than Blender's built-in soft body, which the developer notes is difficult on a first try.
