Motion inspector

Motion inspector is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so it runs on that long-term-support build and later releases. The add-on is small, around a few kilobytes, and requires no special permissions to run. Version 0.2.9 is the current release listed by the developer. If you are on a Blender build older than 4.2, you would need to update first, since earlier versions fall outside the stated compatibility range. Check the developer's page for the latest version details before installing.

Motion inspector added support for parented objects in version 0.2.9, so animated objects that inherit transforms from a parent can be inspected. One caveat the developer notes: on frame references, only static constraints such as a path constraint work properly on objects, and you should use an armature for full constraint support. Keep that limitation in mind when setting up rigs you plan to analyse. The parented-object support arrived with the 0.2.9 update listed on the developer's page.

Motion inspector notes that on frame references, only static constraints such as a path constraint will work properly on objects. For full constraint support, the developer recommends using an armature rather than relying on object-level constraints. This matters if your setup uses constraints outside that static case, since those may not report correctly through the tool's frame references. When accuracy matters, moving your constrained motion onto an armature is the suggested route. See the developer's page for further guidance on constraint handling.

Motion inspector is listed as free in this catalog and is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. The add-on requires no special permissions in Blender. Because it ships under the GPL, you are free to use, study and modify the source in line with that license's terms. For the most current licensing conditions attached to the GPL, check the developer's page and repository. Refer there for the definitive licensing details before relying on it in a project.

Motion inspector installs by dragging and dropping the extension into Blender, or by downloading the add-on and using Install from Disk in Blender's preferences. At roughly a few kilobytes, the download is small and quick to add. Once installed, enable it like any other Blender add-on to reach its motion-inspection tools in the 3D View. The developer's page hosts the current 0.2.9 release and links to the issue tracker if you run into problems during setup. Follow Blender's standard extension install steps for your version.
