Powerpin
Developer: Wolfram Kampffmeyer
Pins a character's feet during ground contact and bakes the result to remove foot sliding.
What Powerpin does
Foot sliding is a common flaw in walk cycles, especially when a character travels across a scene. Powerpin detects when each foot touches the ground and holds it in global position, then bakes the corrected motion.
A tolerance value lets it work even when the animation lacks precise flat ground keys. You can set the start and end frames and the bake step, and a trim option for the contact range is provided. Animators cleaning up locomotion in Blender will find it a quick alternative to manual fixes.
