Follow Vertex Position (Blender Script)

With this simple script you can “track” selected vertex. Script make an empty object that follows selected vertex position. This script work also with armature animation and that’s the main reason why I made this simple experimental script. More about this script in this blog post.

You can select only one vertex with this script version.

This is a script. There's no installation needed for using it. Just proceed with these simple steps:

1. Open Blender Text Editor
2. Open script File
3. Select target Vertex in Edit Mode
4. Go back to Object Mode
5. Run Script in Text Editor
6. Thats it. It makes empty object and keyframe vertex position to every frame.

About

This is quite old script that I've used in couple projects. Main reason for this was to get position of target Vertex and use that data in After Effects to make objects follow that point.
