Had a look at the available plugins, but none of them seems to meet my requirements, which are:
- Instances.
- Animation of instances.
- Rigid-body simulation of instances.
- Grouping of instances, and the ability to hide groups of instances.
- Attachment of instances to skeletons, and animation of skeletons.
Edit: Updated requirements:
- Quick manual placement of instances.
- Transform animation of instances, which would be translation, rotation, and scaling.
- Rigid-body transform simulation of instances, again translation, rotation, and scaling.
- Grouping of instances.
- Hiding of groups of instances.
- Copying of groups of instances.
- Conversion of groups of instances to a single mesh.
- Attachment of instances to skeletons, and animation of skeletons.
