Look at this Borb friend!🐦 I've been testing a dynamic squashNstretch rig setup in #b3d. Basically it's all animated just by moving a single controler around with auto keyframing enabled. Breakdown example in 🧵

Here is an example of the rig setup on Suzanne. Basically all you need is some dynamic bone addon (there's a bunch of them like Dynamic Bone, Wiggle Bones 2, Swingy Bones Physics,...). Create a controler bone, stretch bone and stretch target bone. 1/2

Parent both stretch bones to controler bone. Apply bone dynamics on the stretch target bone and add stretch to constraint to stretch bone. Then parent the rest of the rig (or part of the rig you wanna move) to the stretch bone and animate the controler. 2/2

That secondary tail motion is amazing.... so cute!

Thanks. It's another jiggle on top of the body jiggle 😅 A whole bouncy inception :D

We want this as a pet! 😍

Ahaha, you can get some of those bird squishmallows ♥️

Just look at the lil' bubblebird go! Look how they wibble!

He is a menace actually! Don't get fooled by his look 😄

Waa, it's so cuuute, and thank you so much for sharing the breakdown of this! This exactly what I am looking to do for a round creature I am rigging 🤩 I will test this out on it ❣️

I am glad that this is helpful for you. Feel free to post your result once your character is done :)
