Rig and bake secondary motion

Set up one direct chain

1. 1

   Select the first Group

   Choose the driver at the start of one cape, hair strand, cloth strip, tail, or chain.

2. 2

   Open Physics Setup

   Review the exact root-to-end path before saving anything.

   Tools > Creator Glove > Motion Lab > Motion Lab Rigging > Physics Setup...

3. 3

   Choose the material

   Start with Hair, Soft Cloth, Heavy Cloth, Leather, Rubber, or Metal Chain, then fine-tune only if needed.

4. 4

   Save Setup

   Store the non-destructive live setup on the first Group in the chain.

Preview while you animate

Bake editable keys

1. 1

   Open Bake Physics to Keyframes

   Choose the setup when the model contains more than one.

   Animate > Motion Lab > Bake Physics to Keyframes

2. 2

   Choose detail

   Preview the sampled result at the level of keyframe detail you need.

3. 3

   Bake

   Write ordinary rotation keys while preserving existing authored pose keys.

4. 4

   Adjust or finalize

   Change the bake detail later, or keep the keys and remove only the recipe.

Adjust or remove a setup

1. 1

   Select the setup root

   Choose the first Group in the saved physics chain while in Edit mode.

2. 2

   Open Physics Setup

   The existing recipe opens as Adjust Physics.

   Tools > Creator Glove > Motion Lab > Motion Lab Rigging > Physics Setup...

3. 3

   Update or remove

   Choose Update Setup to save new values, or Remove Setup to delete only the live physics recipe. Existing bones and animation keys remain.

Know the path limits

• One setup follows one direct root-to-end path.
• Splits, overlaps, invalid roots, and unrelated side branches are rejected or ignored.
• Expressions, non-uniform scale, stale identities, and overlapping setups are not silently baked.
• Removing a setup keeps bones, geometry, saved bake records, and existing animation keys.
