Why we like it

Quick Constraint bundles five constraint and simulation tools into one add-on, with keyframing of the parent relationship handled as a separate part.

What is Quick Constraint?

Quick Constraint is a Blender add-on from Animation Store built around speeding up animation work with constraints and rigid body handling. It is organised into five parts, each covering a specific area of the constraint and simulation workflow.

The Constraint bone part lets you snap and constrain IK bones or any bone to an object and add control points. The Constraint object part snaps and constrains any object to a selected bone, including multiple objects to multiple bones. Influence control manages the influence of single or multiple constraints on bones or objects, changes a constraint to another without removing it, and applies them. The Rigid body part gives control over activating or deactivating the rigid body of one, all, or groups of specific objects. The Keyframe parent relationship part adds a keyframe to activate or deactivate the parent relationship.

Documentation is provided, and the developer recommends viewing all tutorials before use. Demo videos are also available. The add-on is licensed under GPL and covers a range of Blender versions.

Who is Quick Constraint best for?

Quick Constraint is best for blender animators working with object or bone constraints and rigid body simulation across multiple objects.

How much does Quick Constraint cost?

Quick Constraint is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

What Blender versions does Quick Constraint support?

Quick Constraint lists support for Blender versions 4.3, 4.2, 4.1, and 4.0. The developer also provides an installation tutorial referencing Blender 4.2. If you are running one of these versions you should be covered, but confirm the current version list on the developer's page before installing, as compatibility details can change with newer Blender releases over time.

What can I do with the rigid body part of Quick Constraint?

Quick Constraint includes a rigid body part that gives full control over when to activate or deactivate the rigid body of a single object, all objects, or groups of specific objects. The developer notes this is intended to make the process easier, especially when working with multiple objects. For the exact workflow, the add-on includes documentation and a dedicated rigid body tutorial.

How does influence control work in Quick Constraint?

Quick Constraint provides an influence control part that adjusts the influence of single or multiple constraints on bones or objects. It also lets you change a constraint to another without removing it, and then apply the constraints. According to the developer, a tutorial covering influence control and changing constraints is available, alongside a separate example combining a constrained object with influence control. The developer recommends viewing all tutorials before using the add-on so the workflow is clear.

Is Quick Constraint free?

Quick Constraint is listed as free in this catalog. It is distributed under the GPL license and was published by Animation Store, with Hamdi Amer credited as the seller. For current licensing terms and to confirm availability, check the developer's page directly. The add-on also links out to the creator's other Blender products for animators.
