About What's New Reviews Version History

This tiny Blender addon helps with parenting objects.

This tiny Blender addon helps with parenting objects.

  1. You can now Link Parents in the "Link/Transfer Data" menu (Ctrl+L or Viewport > Object > Link/Transfer Data). It allow you to copy the active object's parent and it's transformation matrix. It supports object, bone and vertex parenting.

Link Parents Operator

  1. This addon also finally exposes the obscure Matrix Parent Inverse under the Object's "Relations" property panel. This property is now editable through comprehensive transformation properties. Thanks to Pullusb, you can now also copy/paste the matrix between objects. This also works between objects in different blend files.
