Why we like it

YURE Driver earns its place in the superhive library for a focused approach to secondary bone motion: one keyframe on a parent bone drives spring and wave on the children. It runs across a broad Blender range, 2.8 to 4.5, under a GPL license, and a demo video is available.

What is Yure Driver [Setup Spring Driver]?

YURE Driver [Setup Spring Driver] is a Blender add-on from Bookyakuno for creating spring and wave motion on bone chains. It sets up a driver that moves child bones late using the rotation value of the parent bone. Once the setup is in place, adding a single keyframe to the parent bone makes all the child bones spring and wave.

The add-on includes options to use variable properties or object properties. You can adjust the value in real time and use keyframes for shaking, though you must select the bone and run it again to update the enabled state. Disabling is recommended when you want to adjust the value for each bone. Transform type, axis, and target settings are available, and creating a driver with the "location" transform type lets the child bones follow the movement with a delay.

YURE Driver is accessed from the 3D view Sidebar (N) under Addons, in the "YURE Driver" panel, where you can also view a list of active bone drivers. It runs on Blender 2.8 through 4.5 under a GPL license.

Frequently asked questions

What Blender versions does YURE Driver work with?

YURE Driver works with Blender versions 2.8 through 4.5, covering a wide range of releases from the 2.8 series up to 4.5. It is distributed under the GPL license. If you are on a version within that range, the add-on should install and run as intended. For the current supported versions and any details beyond that range, check the developer's page, since compatibility can shift as new Blender releases arrive over time.

How do I access YURE Driver in Blender?

YURE Driver is found in the 3D view under the Sidebar, opened with the N key, then Addons, then the "YURE Driver" panel. From there you can set up drivers and view a list of active bone drivers. Note that you must select the bone and run it again to update the enabled state. Disabling is recommended if you want to adjust the value for each bone individually rather than shaking them together.

How do I make child bones spring with YURE Driver?

YURE Driver springs and waves child bones from a single keyframe on the parent bone. It sets up a driver that moves the child bones late using the rotation value of the parent bone, so setting one keyframe on the parent shakes all the child bones. You can adjust the value in real time and use keyframes for shaking. If you create a driver with the "location" transform type, the child bones follow the movement with a delay.

Is YURE Driver free to use?

YURE Driver is listed as free here in our catalog. It is distributed under the GPL license according to the developer's page. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the most current pricing and license details it is worth checking Bookyakuno's page directly before you download. The GPL license generally covers how you can use and redistribute the add-on, and a demo video is available if you want to see it first.
