## What it is
Wiggle 2 is a Blender add-on that adds physics-driven secondary motion to armature bones, a ground-up rewrite of the original wiggle bones add-on. It supports pinning, mesh collision, library overrides, and one-click baking of wiggle simulation into keyframes.

## Use cases
- add jiggle physics to character bones in Blender
- simulate ropes and chains with bones
- make hair, tails, or accessories react to motion
- bake bone physics simulation into keyframes
- create seamless looping wiggle animation
- pin bones to targets while others react

## When to choose
- you need lightweight secondary motion without a full physics engine
- you want bone collision with meshes and friction/bounce control
- you work with linked libraries and need overrides support
- you want quick baking of simulation to keyframes for rendering

## When to avoid
- you need rigid body or cloth simulation rather than bone wiggle
- you are not using Blender
- you need GPU-accelerated or real-time game engine physics

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin

- function: simulation, animation
- domain: graphics, media
