Fast Rigid Body earns a spot in the superhive library as a two-click helper for Rigid Body physics in Blender. Worth noting its updates are suspended, so treat it as a tool for the Blender versions it lists rather than the newest releases.
Fast Rigid Body is an addon for Blender from 3DVision built to simplify working with Rigid Body physics. Instead of stepping through the manual setup, it applies Rigid Body physics in just two clicks. The addon includes an Active panel and a Passive panel for handling rigid body objects.
It is available in two packs. The Lite pack contains the Fast Rigid Body addon on its own. The Full pack contains the addon along with a demo scene named Marble Machine. The addon lists support for Blender 2.81, 2.82, 2.83 and 2.9, and it ships with documentation.
Fast Rigid Body carries a Royalty Free license and is listed as free in this catalog. A demo video is available if you want to see more before installing. One thing to note: updates for the product are suspended, so it is best suited to the Blender versions it already supports.
Fast Rigid Body is best for blender users who want a quicker way to set up Rigid Body physics across versions 2.81 through 2.9.
Fast Rigid Body is completely free to download and use.
Fast Rigid Body lists support for Blender 2.81, 2.82, 2.83 and 2.9. If you run one of these versions, the addon and its Active and Passive panels are designed to work with your setup. Keep in mind that updates for the product are suspended, so newer Blender releases beyond those listed are not covered by the developer. For current compatibility details, check the developer's page before installing on a different version than the ones named here.
Fast Rigid Body comes in two packs. The Lite pack contains the Fast Rigid Body addon on its own. The Full pack contains the same addon plus a demo scene called Marble Machine. Both give you the two-click Rigid Body setup along with the Active and Passive panels, while the Full pack simply adds the extra demo scene. Choose based on whether you want the Marble Machine scene bundled alongside the addon itself, or just the addon by itself.
Fast Rigid Body currently has its updates suspended, according to the developer. The addon still functions for the Blender versions it lists, namely 2.81 through 2.9, but no further updates are being released at this time. If you rely on ongoing maintenance or support for newer Blender versions, keep this in mind and check the developer's page for the latest status before deciding to add it to your workflow.
Fast Rigid Body is listed as free here and carries a Royalty Free license. Because licensing terms and the available packs can change over time, check the developer's page for current details before downloading. A demo video is available as well, which you can view to learn more about the addon before deciding whether it fits your workflow. The developer, 3DVision, can also be contacted through their store page if you have questions.
