A focused add-on that lives in a dedicated sidebar tab and applies its effect through automatically generated keyframes, with per-object parameter storage for animating several objects independently.
Levitation Addon is a Blender add-on from nogproductions for animating objects with a levitation effect. After selecting an object, its parameters appear in the 3D View sidebar under a dedicated Levitation tab, where you set the levitation height, rotation intensity, start frame, end frame, and a seed to change the randomness of the object's rotation. Clicking Apply Levitation Effect automatically creates keyframes for the rotation and location settings across the defined frames.
The add-on uses only three keyframes to define an object's location and rotation, keeping the animation graph less complex. Its rotation is built on quaternions for smooth transitions between axes, and the seed alters that rotation's randomness. A Reset Levitation Effect button removes the effect and all associated keyframes from the selected object.
Each object retains its own settings individually. When you select a new object, the interface reflects the specific values applied to it, so multiple objects can be animated independently with different parameters. Installation is handled through the add-on's .py file via Edit > Preferences in Blender.
Levitation Addon is best for blender users adding a smooth levitation effect with adjustable random rotation to one or more objects.
Levitation Addon is completely free to download and use.
Levitation Addon lists compatibility with Blender 4.2, 4.1 and 4.0. If you run one of these versions, the add-on installs through the standard preferences workflow. For versions outside this range, check the developer's page first, since compatibility beyond the listed releases is not stated. The add-on was published almost two years ago, so confirming current support against your specific Blender build is worthwhile if you use a newer release.
Levitation Addon is installed by downloading the add-on's .py file, then going to Edit > Preferences in Blender. In the Add-ons tab, click Install and select the .py file, then check the box to activate the add-on. Once active, its controls appear in the 3D View sidebar (press N) under the Levitation tab, where you select an object and adjust its parameters before applying the effect.
Levitation Addon uses only three keyframes to define an object's location and rotation, which keeps the animation graph less complex. The rotation is built on quaternions to ensure smooth transitions between axes, and the seed value alters the randomness of that rotation. When you click Apply Levitation Effect, these keyframes are created automatically over the start and end frames you defined, and a Reset button removes the effect and its keyframes.
Levitation Addon is listed as free in this catalog and is described as royalty free. Licensing terms can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current licensing and any conditions before you download. The listing is credited to nogproductions, and the developer's page is the place to confirm the latest details on licensing and permitted use for your project.
