This is an awesome update and will make my, as well as others, workflow a lot easier.
Time to make some spooky scary skeletons.

This is going to be extremely helpful when attaching items to certain parts of a rigged character’s body. I had to scrap a small game idea I had because I couldn’t figure out a way to attach a tool to my rigged character’s hand, but this pretty much solves it completely!

This update was much needed! Finally it will make attachments more workable with bones. Any ETA on when we’ll be able to select bones from the viewport when animating them?

Will bones ever support animated scale? There’s a lot of applications of it that can’t be reasonably implemented with tweens.

Yesssss!!! I love this update! I’m working with mesh deformation almost everyday and sometimes gets a pain.

Great update! I bet loads more people seeked this for a long time.

Awesome, now we can have armor separate from the characters rather than having to separate character models with and without armor.
Now we just need to be able to rig bones to mesh parts in Studio instead of having to do it in a third-party program.

Great work for changes accessories to bones and constraints i helpful to be attach a lot that will be able to completing update so you can known issues for attachments but that update with positions has custom would that using to bones for giving supported animation update and i did for works attached a tool can rigged character hand, but a lot things solves will that great update studio will giving developer at the time to changes for pretty much for continued solved completely to supported for using to accessories!

Yay! Thanks for this. I was putting off doing anything related to constraints because I heard they would eventually be fixed, just didn’t know when this would happen. In the meantime I just solved this with my own code, but you can guess the performance of that.
Well no more waiting for this I guess.

So how exactly is this supposed to be set up? See the gif below…
I tried using a constraint parented to the bone, and the attachments parented to the wooden stake and the mesh (bc you can’t parent an attachment to the bone). The wooden stake still does not move with the animation. What am I missing?

You treat the Bones just like they were Attachments. Set the Constarint’s Attachment properties to the Bone/Attachments you want. It does not matter where the Constraint is in the hierarchy.
(quick overview of Constraints and Attachments available here)

That had no effect. In the above example, I have an attachment on the wooden stake, and a hinge constraint with attachments set to that attachment and one of the bones (shoulder). The stake still doesn’t follow the animation. Is this something that will only work in-game and not in Studio in animation editor?

ah that may be the problem, since the Animation Editor will not run simulation. I’ll look into it, might be able to get it to update correctly in the Editor too.

Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but are there any future plans to allow bones to scale with a mesh when it is scaled in code? I know the studio scale tool does this, just wondering if it will ever be added to code?

This is cool, I do have a concern with mesh deformation though. Lets say I have a Dragon, and its DeathAnimation is playing; If i tween its transparency the dragon begins to have a sort of seizure and it just looks like a mess, will this be fixed soon?

Could it be possible for animations update the WorldPosition and WorldOrientation properties of bones? Constraints are useful and all but when working with different scaled accessories, it is hard for the constraint to attach correctly. If there was some way to read those updated values, it would be a life saver.

I really like this upcoming change, and it was about time too. Really helpful!
Although problems started to occur on my end ever since this update was pushed out. I believe all of my rigs stopped working properly. Since I don’t see the problem in known issues, I will include the footage below.
Bug: Bones and bone hierarchies not updating even though their CFrame has been changed
The bone named “root”, which is the parent of all bones, is supposed to move every body part of the rig along with itself, though that is not happening due to this strange bug.
This rig was working before the update, in addition, the problem persists when I re-import the rig, try it on a different place, or on a different studio instance. This isn’t a weight issue either.
Also happens in-game as well.
Loving the effort being put into this feature. Thanks in advance!
