Why we like it

Animation Tags earns its place in the superhive library by addressing something Blender's Collections don't cover: tagging animations directly. If you juggle many animations across characters and action types, a tag-and-filter approach is a practical way to keep them findable.

What is Animation Tags?

Animation Tags is a tag-based organization system for Blender, built by Inlet. It lets you assign multiple tags to any animation and create your own tag hierarchies, so you can filter through them and find the exact animation you need in moments.

Unlike Blender's Collections system, which doesn't apply to animations, this addon gives you flexibility in how you categorize your work. Organize by character, by action type, or by a combination of both, then search, filter and animate. The structure you use is left up to you.

It supports Blender versions 3.0 through 5.0 and is released under the GPL license. Documentation is included, and a demo video is available on the developer's page. Within the superhive library, Animation Tags fills a specific gap for artists who want to manage animations by tag rather than through the built-in collection workflow.

Who is Animation Tags best for?

Animation Tags is best for blender animators managing large numbers of animations who want to categorize and filter them by tags such as character or action type.

How much does Animation Tags cost?

Animation Tags is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does Animation Tags work with Blender 5.0?

Animation Tags lists compatibility with Blender versions 3.0 through 5.0, so it covers a wide span from older releases up to the 5.0 line. If you run a version inside that range, the addon is intended to work with your setup. For versions outside that range, or to confirm behaviour on your exact build, check the developer's page, which carries the current compatibility details and the documentation for the addon.

What license is Animation Tags released under?

Animation Tags is released under the GPL license, according to its listing. For the full terms, including any conditions on redistribution and use, refer to the developer's page rather than relying on a summary here, since license details can be updated over time. That page also hosts the documentation for the addon, which is worth reviewing alongside the license before you download and add it to your Blender workflow.

Is Animation Tags free?

Animation Tags is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing and availability can change over time, so if you want to confirm the current terms before downloading, the developer's page is the place to check. That page also hosts the documentation for the addon and a demo video, both of which are worth reviewing before you add it to your workflow.

How is Animation Tags different from Blender's Collections?

Animation Tags addresses a gap that Blender's Collections system leaves open: Collections don't apply to animations. Instead of that built-in approach, this addon lets you assign multiple tags to any animation and build your own tag hierarchies. You can then categorize by character, by action type, or by a combination of both, and search and filter to reach the exact animation you need. The organizing structure is left entirely up to you.
