Animation Gen earns its place in the superhive library by pairing a simple interface with curve-based control, letting Blender users build reusable animation presets for objects, groups and light sources.
Animation Gen is a Blender add-on aimed at motion designers, built to set the movement of objects through a simple, intuitive interface. Movement is adjusted using curves, an approach the developer describes as a creative way to shape how an animation plays out. It can animate any objects in a scene, including light sources, and handle groups of objects in a few clicks.
Animations you create can be saved as presets and applied in other projects, so a setup you like once can travel between scenes. The add-on lends itself to stylish intros and to abstract animations built from many objects. All the animation shown in the promo video was made with the tool itself.
Animation Gen ships with documentation covering lessons on each feature, and a demo video is available. It supports Blender 4.3, 4.2, 4.1, 4.0 and 3.6, and is released under the GPL license.
Animation Gen is best for motion designers working in Blender who want to set object movement with curves and reuse animation presets across projects.
Animation Gen is completely free to download and use.
Animation Gen supports Blender 4.3, 4.2, 4.1, 4.0 and 3.6, covering both the 4.x series and the older 3.6 release. If you run any of these versions, the add-on is built to work with your setup. It's released under the GPL license, and it ships with documentation containing lessons on its features. For the latest compatibility details and any newer Blender releases, check the developer's page before installing.
Animation Gen can animate any objects in your scene, including light sources, so lights can move alongside your geometry. It also handles groups of objects in a few clicks, which speeds up scenes that hold many elements. Movement itself is adjusted using curves, giving you control over how each animation plays out. Any animation you build can then be saved as a preset and reused in other projects.
Animation Gen is released under the GPL license, and it's listed as free here in our catalog, so you can add it to your Blender toolkit without a purchase. Licensing terms can change over time, so for current details and any conditions attached to the download, visit the developer's page directly. The add-on also comes with documentation that walks through lessons on using each of its features.
Animation Gen lets you save any animation you create as a preset, then apply it in your other projects instead of rebuilding it each time. Movement is set using curves, and the same preset workflow applies whether you're animating single objects, groups of objects, or light sources. That makes it practical to build a library of your own motion setups and carry them between scenes as you work.
