Stands out for pairing chain and bone dynamics in one add-on, with step-based setup and one-click removal that keeps changes reversible.
Softbody Simulator is a Blender add-on by Shuhan that covers two workflows: a Chain Simulator and a Bone Simulator. The Chain Simulator generates a chain and adds dynamics to it in five steps, and it ships with a demo curve prepared for quick round chains.
The Bone Simulator adds dynamics to bones in three steps, and any bone can be set as ROOT. For chains, you can add controllers wherever you want, and the add-on automatically backs up the model and curve. Parameters can be modified and the chain re-simulated at any time, so you are not locked into a first result.
Removing a simulation or deleting a chain takes one click, and bone simulations can be removed the same way. Documentation is included, and the add-on is distributed under the GPL license. It lists support for Blender versions from 3.3 through 4.4, with a v1.3 build covering 3.3 through 4.2.
Softbody Simulator is best for blender users who need to add dynamics to chains or bones through a step-based, reversible workflow.
Softbody Simulator is completely free to download and use.
Softbody Simulator lists support for Blender versions 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4, so it covers a wide range of releases including recent ones. A v1.3 build is available specifically for Blender 3.3 through 4.2. If you are on one of these versions, check the developer's page to confirm which download matches your setup before installing so you pick the right build.
Softbody Simulator is distributed under the GPL license. This catalog lists the add-on as free, so there is no cost noted here for downloading or using it. Licensing and availability can change over time, so it is worth checking the developer's page for the current terms and confirming the exact version you will receive before you download it, since different builds cover different Blender releases.
Softbody Simulator uses its Chain Simulator to generate a chain and add dynamics in five steps, and it ships with a demo curve prepared for quick round chains. You can place controllers for the chain wherever you want, and the add-on automatically backs up the model and curve. Parameters can be modified and the chain re-simulated at any time, and a single click removes the simulation or deletes the chain.
Softbody Simulator includes a Bone Simulator that adds dynamics to bones in three steps, and any bone can be set as the ROOT. Removing a bone simulation takes one click, matching the reversible one-click removal used for chains. A demo video is available on the developer's listing, and documentation is included to help you get started with either the chain or bone simulator.
