Animation Utilities
The toolkit every Blender animator needs. Stop hunting for tools and streamline your workflow.
An Animator's Best Friend
Animation Utilities is an addon that consolidates the most essential posing, keyframing, animation playback, NLA strip management, and viewport tools into one convenient panel. Work faster, reduce clicks, and stay in the creative zone.
Key Features:
- One-Click Posing: Instantly symmetrize your pose, isolate selected bones to work without clutter, and reset transforms.
- Smart Keyframing: Animate with confidence using a context-aware keying button that provides visual feedback to prevent common mistakes.
- Smart Playing: A robust Play/Stop Animation feature that ensures the entire animation stack plays, even when an NLA strip is in tweak mode, offering consistent playback.
- NLA Tools: Effortlessly toggle tweak mode for selected NLA strips with the Edit NLA Strip operator, simplifying non-linear animation adjustments.
- Centralized Viewport Controls: Instantly toggle overlays, switch to any orthographic view, and control your gizmos from one location.
