    It's been about 10ish minutes since I bought the addon and I am now writing the review, but I can already tell this was a good decision. It feels way more official than the Wiggle addon, especially since it (the Wiggle addon) stopped working suddenly. I am fairly confident that this is the addon I can use in my animations from now on and can not wait to learn how to use this addon to its fullest potential. Thanks!

    It's not as good as I thought.
    //
    The physics is too slow and results in a stiff physics that cannot be used with fast-paced animations.(Dance Animation)
    //
    I think a typical free Sping bone or Wiggle Bone example.
    It is stable when playing Animation. that is more rapid
    //
    The advantage is the added links.
    //
    I don't know why the tutorial shows such good quality. But after actually using it I'm not happy at all.
    //
    I hope there will be more updates. Thank you.

      Hello Nattakid Phaerpittayakul,
      Thank you for your feedback! I'm sorry to hear that you had some issues, looking at your review it seems like there's a problem with some of your simulation parameters and scene gravity settings, feel free to send me a message so I can help you troubleshoot this!

    Your add-on is really great, with many useful features. However, the available collision shapes are quite limited. I would like to have more variety in collider shapes.

      Thank you for your review Lê Minh Thành! I'm really happy that you're finding the addon useful for your projects!
      My main goal when I made this addon was to primarily implement the most used collision shapes that were used in games made by big studios like Square Enix//Capcom and more (you can see that cylinders and spheres are the most popular due to their stability and fast collision computation properties, you can see in these few examples that they are enough to cover a wide variety of cloth/hair setups: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQOzMoNaB_U&t=1432s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBGh8ay_gNk https://cgworld.jp/feature/202012-ffvll-02.html ).
      When I have the necessary time, I may be looking into the possibility to add more shapes, it will require some R&D to make it work fast enough and without breaking multiplatform compatibility if I heavily edit the solver but I will give it a try, thank you for your suggestion!

    I think it's a really good addon.
    I don't know how to import the current character with physics applied to another Blender file. I have tried various methods, but the physics does not apply when I use a different Blender file, so I am currently looking for a method.
    Are there any tutorials or video links?

      Thank you for your review mpsun5, it's much appreciated!
      I assume you're referring to linking/appending, in this case you can refer to this wiki page here https://swingy-bone-physics.github.io/wiki/linking/ (the "link data" button has been moved to a bottom panel in the last update, the documentation will be updated accordingly during this week-end, it's a bit behind right now).
      If you still encounter some issues feel free to send me a message by using the "ask a question" button on the right and I'll be happy to help!

    Hands down the best solution for physically simulated bones. All the others are nice and all, but there are some things that don't make them really usable for serious projects. This Addon lets you bake your simulations iregardless of the playback mode, so you can actually animate like you're supposed to, using Drop Frames, and your baked animation will come through correctly. Other addons refuse to support that functionality. To top it off, the dev is very responsive and offers excelent support. Don't think it twice. This is the addon you need.

    Great addon. I had a issue, and developer was very responsive with extended back/forth email to completely understand, and fully correct the problem.

    Really helpful and intuitive way of setting up dynamic motion for automatic secondary motion & jiggling. I hope to use it for a ton of things, but mostly just as a super quick way to make hair move around. Haven't but scratched the surface on all its features and already I'm convinced it was a good investment. Thanks Ehcya!

      Thanks a lot for your review Joel, I'm really glad to hear that's it has been useful for your projects!
      In case you missed it I recently published a youtube video showcasing some of the addon's features, it may give you some interesting ideas to try out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UHfSsx6Fgc

    I can really only repeat what others have said. I’ve tried a lot of hair solutions. I would say all of them but I happened across this. Anyway, the developer responds thoughtfully. I especially like the bone shapes. Very easy to tell what’s going on,

    The Addon every Blender user dreamt of to have REAL-TIME physics!. I hope the Addon will expand to have more specific features for complex clothes such as long dresses, capes and shawls.. etc. By the way, behind this lovely Addon a very lovely developer <3 I really appreciate your wonderful support and help.
