What it does
Three time sinks it takes out of Blender animation
The problem
Fiddly keyframe work
Building in-betweens and adjusting timing by hand eats the day. The Breakdowner makes weighted in-betweens with real-time sliders, and the Retimer changes keyframe timing with visual feedback.
The problem
Fighting with motion paths
Motion paths draw your arcs directly in the 3D viewport, and you edit the keyframes on them interactively rather than scrubbing the timeline to find them.
The problem
Feet sliding when a parent moves
Lock to World, the footlocker, pins bones to world space coordinates, so you can edit parent transforms without foot sliding.
Inside the tool
Inside the Animates suite
Everything is aimed at the daily keyframe work of character animation. The curve tools amplify or tame motion without destroying arcs, the onion skinning is GPU accelerated so it keeps up in production scenes, and key colours let you label keys for each pass.
BREAKDOWN
Breakdowner
Weighted in-betweens with real-time sliders.
TIMING
Retimer
Retime your animation your way, with visual feedback.
CURVES
Key Amp and Smooth
Amplify or tame curves without destroying arcs, including a graph editor smooth tool.
CLEANUP
Smart Smooth and clean
Context-aware fcurve cleanup that preserves your poses, plus a tool that removes redundant keys.
ONION
Onion skinning
GPU accelerated, so it performs in production scenes.
PATHS
Motion paths
Visualise arcs in the viewport and edit keys on the path.
WORLD
Lock to World
The footlocker: hold bones in world space while you change what drives them.
PIVOT
Temp Pivot
Temporary transform pivots without parenting or empty objects.
SELECTION
Smart selection
Playhead and nearest key selection, repeated click grow, directional selection and channel visibility toggling.
ORGANISE
Workflow and Key Colours
Label keyframes with custom colours for blocking, breakdown and polish passes.
