This is a Blender addon for easily convert normal bones into elastic bones with -literally- just a click! 🦴

I like experimenting adding elastic bones to see if the object I'm animating could benefit from an elastic kind of motion.

Creating (and later removing, leaving the rig correctly) elastic bones is a tedious process, specially if you are doing it for more than one bone.

This addon makes that process instantaneous.

Installation 💻

1. Download the .zip file with the addon and place it wherever you like.
2. In Blender, go to Edit → Preferences. Once there, press the Add-ons tab and press Install button on the top-right corner:

   

3. Select the .zip file.
4. Once installed, search for “SZK Easy Elastic Bones” in the search bar, and enable the addon.

How to use it 🔨

Having an armature selected in Edit or Pose Mode, select the bones you want to make elastic, go to bone tab in properties panel and then open the Bendy Bones menu.

Right there, press the button 'Convert to Elastic Bone'.

💡 Press ‘Delete Elastic Bone’ to -drumroll 🥁🥁🥁- remove the elastic bone you have created.

Happy rigging!
