Description

This project includes the graph editor, dopespheet editor, NLA editor, keyframes, drivers, constraints, armatures, and more.

Status

The module is working on Animation 2025, as well as polishing existing features and resolving bugs.

Systems in 'Maintenance Mode'

These parts of the animation system are considered to be in 'maintenance mode'. They will not get new features. Bugs may be fixed if they do not require too much of a restructuring of the code.

• Animation Baking: The current system has gotten too hairy, and needs a rewrite. Relevant issues are:
  • #79670: Baking animation of bones affected by a curve (spline IK) is wrong
  • #82168: Improvements to "Bake Action..." Operator
  • #82782: Smart Bake option for "Bake Action"
  • #85050: Baking animation on 2s ( Frame Step = 2) and with 'Overwrite Current Action' enabled, still keeps old keyframes inbetween steps.
  • #96459: NLA Visual Bake of Actions (with Rigify character) Gives broken results.
  • #109528: Bake actions operator converting F-curves to linear
  • #116484: Euler rotation is wrapped to 180 degrees when Baking Animations
  • #117972: It is possible to uncheck both Pose and Object in Bake Action and it results in an error
