A focused addon in the Superhive library for reading rigid body transform data frame by frame, backed by documentation and a tutorial.
Matrix World Data Addon works inside Blender to show the current location and rotation data of a rigid body object as a simulation runs. It reports the exact location and rotation value of a rigid body object at any frame, keeping that data visible while you work.
The addon covers a wide span of Blender releases, from Blender 2.79b through Blender 2.8 and later, so it fits into both older and more recent projects. It comes from developer effex infinity and is distributed under a Creative Commons license.
Documentation is provided, and a tutorial covers the addon in detail. A demo video is also available. For anyone working with rigid body physics simulations who needs precise transform data per frame, the addon focuses on that single reporting task.
Matrix World Data Addon is best for blender users working with rigid body physics who need exact location and rotation data of an object at any frame.
Matrix World Data Addon is completely free to download and use.
Matrix World Data Addon can be used in Blender 2.79b and Blender 2.8 and later. The listed compatibility spans a long range of releases, including 2.81, 2.82, 2.83, 2.9, 2.91, 2.92, 2.93, and 3.0 through 3.4. That coverage means it fits into both legacy projects on the older 2.79 branch and more recent files built on later Blender versions. Check the developer's page for current details before installing into a specific release.
Matrix World Data Addon shows the current location and rotation data of a rigid body object while a simulation is running. It will tell you the exact location and rotation value of that object at any frame, so you can read those transform values directly rather than estimating them. The addon is centered on this specific reporting task within Blender's rigid body physics workflow. For a detailed walkthrough of how it presents this information, the developer provides a tutorial.
Matrix World Data Addon is listed as free in this catalog and is distributed under a Creative Commons license. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the most current information on pricing and usage rights it is best to check the developer's page directly. The addon comes from effex infinity, and the same page is where you can confirm the exact license conditions before using it in your own Blender projects.
Matrix World Data Addon includes documentation, and a detailed tutorial covers the addon so you can learn how it works. A demo video is also available. Together these resources give you a starting point for understanding how the addon reports the location and rotation data of a rigid body object during simulation in Blender. Refer to the tutorial for a fuller explanation of its behaviour and to the developer's page for the accompanying materials.
