DynamicBoneChain curl

[shiftyscales]

Requested by GearBell Use case:

• GearBell's avatar has Logix to curl her tail inward in a spiral
• To achieve this, she drives the 'original position' of each bone in the chain with a multiplexer, and smooth lerp to transition between each state
• This mostly works well for her, except while she is moving- while the tail is actively in the process of being curled by the smooth lerp, the dynamic bone chain doesn't respond to movement- likely because the rotations are currently being driven by the smooth lerp

Other users have used similar mechanisms to manually control their ears/other bone chains while still making use of dynamic bones.

this is extremly useful for anyone with tails or ears - so, 90% of the population. being able to drive dynamic bones on top of the dynamics allows for more "expressive" actions. (its also a basic ability in unity, hence the slight frustration you cant do that in neos).

Currently the dynamic bone chain will reset and reinitialize every time the bone configuration is changed. I can modify this behavior though so unless the bone assignments or number of bones is changed, it'll keep the simulation state. That would let you modify them dynamically for animation.

that might work!

That sounds like it could be a good solution thanks, @Frooxius!
