YA FlexParent Toolkit: Full Control Over Dynamic Parenting in Blender

💬 X | Discord

Have you ever tried to animate a scene where an object is passed from one character's hand to another? Or where a product needs to follow a conveyor belt and then drop into a box? In vanilla Blender, this requires a complex dance of constraints, influence keyframing, and manual counter-animation to avoid pops and jumps.

YA FlexParent Toolkit completely automates this workflow, turning it into a fast and enjoyable task.

This isn't just a parenting tool; it's a complete system for effortlessly creating complex animation interactions.

What You Get:

  • Dynamic Parent Assignment: Select your child object(s), then the parent, click "Assign/Switch Parent" — you're done. The object now follows the new parent, starting from the current frame.
  • Smooth Animated Transitions: Forget about jarring cuts! The addon automatically creates a seamless transition between the old and new states by animating the constraint's influence over a specified number of frames. You can customize the duration and interpolation type (Bezier, Linear, Constant).
  • Powerful Collection Workflow: Need a whole pile of screws to attach to a robot's chassis? Just put them in a collection, select it in the addon, and assign a parent to every object in that collection at once.
  • Deep Armature Integration: Perfect for character animators! Specify a single bone as the parent (e.g., hand.R), and your prop will follow it perfectly. The addon even auto-detects the active bone if you don't specify one.
  • Flexible Constraint Types: Go beyond the standard Child Of constraint. The addon also supports Copy Location, Copy Rotation, and Track To to create more specific and nuanced interactions.
  • Simple Finalizing: One-Click Bake: When your animation is complete, press a single button to "bake" the constraint-driven motion into standard keyframes. The addon will then automatically remove all of its helper constraints, leaving you with a clean, render-ready scene.

Perfect For:

  • Character Animation: Picking up weapons, tools, passing objects.
  • Mechanical Animation: Parts assembling and disassembling.
  • Motion Graphics: Elements grouping together, moving as one, and then separating.

YA FlexParent Toolkit is a tool built by animators, for animators, to solve one of the most tedious problems in Blender.
