Overview

bifrost_AkPBD is a Bifrost compound pack for position-based dynamics (PBD) in Maya 2024, created by GitHub user akasaki1211 and released with sample graphs. The example scenes boneDynamics_example.ma, boneDynamicsAngleLimit_example.ma, hingeJoint_example.ma and meshCollision_example.ma, plus rope and softMesh sample graphs, demonstrate bone dynamics with sphere and capsule collisions, angle limits, hinge joints and mesh collision with bulge.

Everything is a free direct download from GitHub under the MIT license as .ma scenes plus compound .json files, and the pack is registered through the BIFROST_LIB_CONFIG_FILES environment variable. A practical study set for riggers wanting simulation-driven bone motion in Bifrost.
