Jiggle Physics in Godot

Here’s how you can add secondary animation movement dynamically to your characters in your Godot game! Jiggle Physics can be used for a wide variety of appendages such as hair and clothing as well.

Thank you all for 69K views! This is my best performing (regular) video on my channel at this time. Gee, I wonder why?
Anyway, have an awesome day!

"You can influence the feeling of jiggle by tweaking the stiffness", gold

[blossomcherrypink]

Thanks man. Needed this for the balls.

[carlosiagnecz]

I never understood how this worked propperly until you used the rope analogy. It makes so much sense now!

[OJapaTerrorista]

I never even used Godot, but when i saw this video, i knew i had to watch it...

[mainakdas]

There is no one who teaches this much like you, thank you.

[nanoalt]

Please continue these guides. You are an incredible communicator, I've seen other Godot creators mention your work and that's how I got here... Okay, maybe it was the jiggle physics

[SmellsMonochrome]

Bro coming out the gates with the Xenoblade 3 and I'm under attack.

First video I came across, I know, a man of culture, but I am glad to have found this gem as I am beginning my work up to dev projects on Godot and need whatever good help I can get, thank you kindly, sir.

[RealEmar]

Thank you. i did not know that jiggle animation can be used for hair. Is going to be very useful for my fakemon as it has sort of a coat made of fur and i had no idea how to get to animating it.

[codernunk]

Thanks for watching! I hope you found this guide... titillating!

[morgen]

Finally a comprehensive guide on this. Thank you for putting in the effort. I've been using wigglebone, works great for single bones but not for a chain of them. So i'll definitely try this jigglebone method.
I'm wondering how performance heavy it is though.

Rope and jiggle physics, The perfect combo

[lexalot]

I'm shocked you don't have more subscribers. This video was highly informative

[FezonRBX]

i had to watch this video multiple times because i couldnt pay attention

[MikhailHudon_ZerithFarron]

I'm not even a Godot dev. I'm here just to give this glorious topic more view time.

[tissueinu]

Fantastic video. Pity that softbody support in Godot 4.2 is broken. In any case, the jiggle bones addon is super easy to use!

[kernsanders]

wanted to let you know this was at top of my suggestion list, the algo seems to know me well

[gonderage]

A buddy and I made a WIP wiggle-to-jiggle blender export pipeline (will link on request, but it's super hard coded). Athough, I don't know how jigglebones is performant for you, because my character had a bunch of bones, and the game lagged hard, unless if the addon was upgraded since last year.
