Why we like it

R2Raghu earns its place in the Superhive library as a focused CSV bridge for animation data, pairing bone hierarchy and keyframe editing with a live editable UI. The MIT license and support across Blender 3.1 to 3.5 make it straightforward to fit into an existing setup.

What is R2Raghu?

R2Raghu is a CSV animation importer and exporter addon for Blender, built around a live editable UI for moving bone and animation data in and out of the CSV format. On import, it reads a CSV file containing the bone hierarchy and keyframe data for each bone, and the interface gives instant feedback as you view and change that data in real time.

Beyond importing, the addon lets you edit the bone hierarchy directly, adding, removing, or rearranging bones. Keyframe editing uses sliders and timeline scrubbing to adjust each bone's position, rotation, and scale at different points in time. Once the changes are done, you can export the updated animation data back to a CSV file for use with other software and for collaboration with other artists.

Sample animation files are available to work from, and a demo video is on hand. R2Raghu runs on Blender 3.1 through 3.5 and is released under the MIT license.

Who is R2Raghu best for?

R2Raghu is best for blender animators who need to import, edit, and export bone and keyframe animation data through the CSV format.

How much does R2Raghu cost?

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does R2Raghu support?

R2Raghu supports Blender 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5, so it fits projects running on any of those releases. The addon is a CSV animation importer and exporter that works with bone hierarchy and keyframe data through a live editable UI. If you are on a version outside that range, check the developer's page for the latest details before installing, since the listed compatibility covers the 3.1 to 3.5 series only.

What license is R2Raghu released under?

R2Raghu is released under the MIT license, one of the more permissive open-source licenses. The addon handles importing, editing, and exporting bone and animation data in the CSV format inside Blender, and sample animation files are available to work from. For questions about resale or current terms, the developer lists a contact and a website, so it is worth checking the developer's page for the most current licensing information.

What animation data format does R2Raghu use?

R2Raghu works in the CSV format for animation data. On import, the CSV file is expected to contain the bone hierarchy and keyframe data for each bone, which the addon reads into its live editable UI. After you edit the hierarchy or keyframes, it exports the updated data back to a CSV file. Using CSV is what allows the animation data to move between different tools and support collaboration with other artists.

Is R2Raghu free to download?

R2Raghu is listed as free here in the catalog. Licensing and pricing can change over time, so for the current terms it is best to check the developer's page directly, where a website and contact are provided. The addon itself is a CSV animation importer and exporter for Blender, released under the MIT license, with sample animation files available to help you get started with the workflow.
