Slow-Mo Generator earns its place in the Superhive library for a focused approach: it bakes slow motion into a new Action with a single click, uses a smoothstep function for fluid speed changes, and keeps the original animation intact while you experiment.
Slow-Mo Generator is a Blender add-on for applying slow-motion effects to character animations, all handled from the Render Properties tab. It works non-destructively: rather than altering your source animation, it bakes the slow-motion result into a new Action carrying the _SlowMo suffix, so the original keyframes stay untouched.
Control comes from a "Slow Motion" panel where you set the Start Frame, End Frame and Slow Factor — for example, 0.3 for 30% speed — along with transition-in and transition-out over customizable frames. Time remapping uses a smoothstep function to produce fluid speed changes without jarring frame jumps. There are no graphs, nodes or NLA editing to manage; applying your settings takes a single bake click.
The add-on works best on rigs or objects that use keyframed animation and can be applied to props, characters and cameras. It supports Blender versions 4.0 through 5.0 and the Blender-Internal, Cycles, Eevee, Octane and V-Ray render engines, and is distributed under the GPL license.
Slow-Mo Generator is best for blender artists who want to add slow-motion sections to keyframed character, prop or camera animations without editing graphs, nodes or the NLA.
Slow-Mo Generator is completely free to download and use.
Slow-Mo Generator lists compatibility with Blender versions 4.0 through 5.0, so it covers current 4.x releases and the 5.0 line. The add-on installs from Edit → Preferences → Add-ons → Install by selecting its .zip file and enabling it in the list. Once active, a new panel named "Slow Motion" appears in the Render Properties tab, where you set the frames and slow factor before baking. For the exact behaviour on your particular build, check the developer's page.
Slow-Mo Generator lists Blender-Internal, Cycles, Eevee, Octane and V-Ray among its supported render engines. The add-on adds slow motion by baking it into a new Action, so the effect is set from the "Slow Motion" panel in the Render Properties tab. It works best on rigs or objects that use keyframed animation, and can also be applied to props, characters and cameras. For details on your particular render engine, check the developer's page.
Slow-Mo Generator installs like a standard Blender add-on: open Blender, go to Edit → Preferences → Add-ons → Install, then select the add-on's .zip file. Click Install Add-on and enable it in the list. After enabling, open the Render Properties tab and you'll find a new panel named "Slow Motion". From there you select an animated object, set the Start Frame, End Frame, Slow Factor and Transition Frames, then click Bake Slow Motion to Action to create a new action with the _SlowMo suffix.
Slow-Mo Generator is listed as free in this catalog, and it is distributed under the GPL license. Because pricing and licensing can change, check the developer's page for the current terms before you rely on them. The add-on has recorded 40+ sales and was published about a year ago. It is built as a Blender add-on that bakes slow motion into a new Action non-destructively, leaving your original animation untouched while you tweak different settings.
