Install

Ragdoll for Blender is a bridge between Ragdoll Core and Blender, and ships as a platform independent Addon.

To install the addon, you do what you'd normally do for addons, via the "Install" button in Blender's preferences.

  1. In Blender, go to Edit > Preferences...
  2. Go to the Add-ons page
  3. Click Install.. and select RagdollBlender.zip you downloaded above
  4. Search for Ragdoll
  5. Enable the Addon

Next, you'll need Ragdoll Core. Which is the engine that performs the actual physics computations.


Upgrade

When a new version of Ragdoll hits the shelves, here's what you do.

  1. Remove your existing Ragdoll Addon
  2. Follow the above Install steps


Licence

Upon loading the addon, Ragdoll will automatically start the clock on a 1-month trial.

To carry on from your trial, you can purchase a new licence via our website.

You'll receive a serial which you can enter via the bottom item of the Ragdoll menu.

Using Ragdoll

Once the addon has been enabled, you'll find a few new elements in your Blender UI.

  2. Any and all new Ragdoll objects end up in this group, for easy organisation
  3. Any properties to control the Ragdoll simulation end up in this tab
  4. Finally, the entrypoint to all things Ragdoll

Learning Material

We're working on material explicitly for Blender, until then feel free to enjoy the tutorials for Maya, as the workflow is near identical:
