Blender Tutorial: Procedural Springs with Drivers & Geometry Nodes
In this video, I'll show you how to rig a spring in Blender for your digital art and animation projects! You'll learn to create a procedural spring using Geometry Nodes that maintains its shape as it stretches. I'll then guide you through setting up an Armature with IK solvers and a special "stretch bone" that controls the spring's height via a driver. Finally, I'll demonstrate a simple animation to bring your rigged spring to life, offering a versatile technique for any stretching object in your scenes.
