This script creates a continuous parent-child hierarchy between the selection of your objects. There are 2 methods to do this, either select all your objects in viewport or select in the order you want the chain to be in, and then run the script.

You can create an object, array and duplicate it as much as you want. Run the script to automatically assign a hierarchy between each object.

1) Select Objects to link
2) Run V-MOTION_MF_Parentize.ms

Version Requirement:
