Why we like it

Animation Versions Kit earns its place for a focused job: saving animation versions inside one blend file and loading any of them back on demand. The changelog shows steady fixes through version 1.0.4.

What is Animation Versions Kit?

Animation Versions Kit is a Blender add-on from Pixel Egg Studio that stores multiple versions of an animation inside a single blend file. Save a snapshot of the current animation, continue working on a new one, then load an earlier version back whenever you want to compare the two.

The add-on suits models that carry many separate animations. You can save character animations as named versions such as "Attack", "Idle", "Jump" and "Walk", switch to any of them instantly, and keep every version in the same blend file. Version 1.0.4 automatically switches to Object mode while saving animations.

It runs across a wide range of Blender releases, from 2.8 through 4.2, and ships under the GPL license. Documentation is included, and a demo video is available.

Who is Animation Versions Kit best for?

Animation Versions Kit is best for blender animators managing multiple animations for a single model who want to save, switch between and reload named versions.
