Simple Bounce Curve earns its place in the Blender extensions library for doing one thing plainly: drawing an adjustable bounce curve between selected objects, with dynamic height scaling added in version 1.1.0.
Simple Bounce Curve is a Blender add-on from Polyfjord that generates a bounce curve connecting selected objects based on their origin. Working with at least two objects, it produces a single curve you can shape to taste, making it a compact addition to the Blender extensions library.
To use it, select two or more objects in the 3D viewport and run Object > Create Bounce Curve. The Curve Height can be set with the slider in the redo panel that appears in the lower-left corner, and in Edit Mode you can tweak the curve's control point handles directly.
Version 1.1.0 added Dynamic Curve Height, which scales the height based on the distance between selected objects, and changed the default height factor to 0.1 meters. It also improved handle types, giving sharp control points zero-length handles for more realistic curvature. The add-on requires no special permissions, is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.
Simple Bounce Curve is best for blender users who need a quick bounce curve between two or more objects and want to adjust its height and control point handles.
Simple Bounce Curve is completely free to download and use.
Simple Bounce Curve is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so any current LTS or later release should run it. The add-on is small at 2.1 KB and requires no special permissions to install. You can add it by dragging and dropping the extension into Blender, or by downloading it and installing from disk through Blender's preferences. If you run a Blender version older than 4.2 LTS, you may need to update before the add-on will load.
Simple Bounce Curve works from the 3D viewport. Select at least two objects, then go to Object > Create Bounce Curve to run the operator, which draws a curve connecting the objects based on their origins. A redo panel appears in the lower-left corner where you can adjust the Curve Height with a slider. For finer control, enter Edit Mode and tweak the curve's control point handles directly. Since version 1.1.0, the curve height also scales dynamically based on the distance between the selected objects.
Simple Bounce Curve is listed as free here, and it is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. That license covers how you can use, modify, and redistribute the add-on, since the GPL is an open-source license. For the current terms and any licensing details, check the developer's page rather than relying on this summary. The extension also requires no special permissions in Blender, which keeps installation straightforward, and at 2.1 KB it is a small download.
Simple Bounce Curve version 1.1.0 introduced Dynamic Curve Height, which scales the curve's height based on the distance between the selected objects, and set the default height factor to 0.1 meters.

This version is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.
