Re: Way to do this?
Posted: Sat Nov 18, 2017 8:14 pmUnlikely. This is something that is best done in a downstream program like Blender, and should be fairly easy to accomplish with tools like "proportional editing".
One way to do this is to create a separate model with different weight painting, and then apply a force (with an empty object) in Blender.
Weight panting can be used to make an object jiggle like this.

The trick here is do what a stunt person would do; it only has to appear as a striking blow.
You can then decide how many frames you want the force object to operate in; usually 24 frames for a full second of strike.
