Stack Motion earns its place in the Superhive library for combining pre-sets, motion paths, and a text animation generator behind one-click apply and remove.
Stack Motion is an animation toolkit for Blender that lets you apply, tweak, and reapply pre-sets in one click. It animates any object type, and if you're not happy with a result, a single-click clean-up removes the animation so you can iterate quickly. You can set precise start and end frames on every animation and change pivot points to control rotation and motion centres.
The add-on ships with 23+ editable pre-sets, each adjustable for intensity, direction, cycles, and more, plus 14 motion paths. You can layer multiple pre-sets to build more complex motion. A text animation generator provides 8 text types and a roll-up combo with fly in and out for titles. A demo scene is included, and demo videos are available.
Stack Motion works with Blender 3.6 through 4.5 across Windows, macOS, and Linux, and supports the Cycles and Eevee render engines. It is a Blender Extension released under the GPL license.
Stack Motion is best for blender users adding motion to objects, lights, cameras, and text through editable pre-sets and paths.
Stack Motion is completely free to download and use.
Stack Motion supports Blender 3.6 through 4.5. It is a Blender Extension and lists compatibility across those versions, so it should fit both older and current installs within that range. The add-on works on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and supports the Cycles and Eevee render engines. If you run a version outside 3.6–4.5, check the developer's page before installing to confirm current compatibility details.
Stack Motion includes one-click removal for animations you've applied. After applying a pre-set to any object type, you can clean it up with a single click and try again, which is designed to help you iterate quickly. You can also set precise start and end frames on every animation and change pivot points to control rotation and motion centres, so adjustments don't always require starting over from scratch.
Stack Motion includes a text animation generator with 8 text types plus a roll-up combo that has fly in and fly out, intended for titles. It sits alongside the add-on's 23+ editable pre-sets and 14 motion paths, so text motion is handled within the same toolkit as object, light, and camera animation. A preview and demo videos showing Stack Motion in use inside Blender are available.
Stack Motion is listed as free in this catalog. It is released under the GPL license and is a Dev Fund Contributor extension. For current licensing terms and any purchase details, check the developer's page directly, since terms can change over time. The download includes a demo scene, 23+ pre-sets, and 14 paths, giving you the core toolkit to start applying and stacking animations.
