Adding Spring Effects to Characters

By adding spring effects to specific parts of a character, the resulting animation will appear more natural. This pipeline is suitable for any characters, including CC1, CC3, CC3+, Creature or Humanoid.

Please note that you are allowed to turn off the spring effect of a bone string for key-frame editing.
