Why we like it

SGET stands out in the superhive library because it consolidates Maya-style ReTime, TweenMachine, and Lattice-based workflows directly into Blender's own Graph Editor and Dope Sheet.

What is Super Graph Editor Tools (Sget)?

Super Graph Editor Tools, or SGET, is an animation suite from za studio that brings industry-standard workflows into Blender's Graph Editor and Dope Sheet. It draws on Maya-style ReTime, TweenMachine, and Lattice deformations, and targets common time-sinks like cleaning up mocap, staggering keys for overlapping action, and transferring rigs.

The suite groups several toolsets. Grab & Bake handles dynamic parenting without constraints or popping, then bakes the motion into raw keyframes and clears the constraints, with a Simplify option to thin the result. Bookmarks mark animation phases with colored blocks. A set of quick utilities toggles Location, Rotation and Scale channel visibility, resets transforms, isolates curves, mirrors time, inverts values per axis, and flips bones between sides. Lattice Warp reshapes curves through a 2D grid, while Scale Cage, Scale Box, and ReTime cover stretching, squashing, and warping timing.

Installation follows the standard add-on route through Blender's Preferences, and the panels appear under the Super Tools tab in the Sidebar. A demo video is available.

Key features

  • Grab & Bake dynamic parenting: parent and unparent objects or pose bones without constraints or popping, bake the motion into raw keyframes with the constraints removed, and use Simplify to reduce baked keys by a Ratio slider
  • Bookmarks: mark animation phases with colored blocks, adjust opacity and text size, and move or resize them with Ctrl + Left Click
  • Quick utilities: toggle Location, Rotation and Scale channel visibility, Smart Reset transforms, Isolate a single F-Curve, Mirror Time, invert curve values per axis, Euler Filter, Clean Key, and Flip Bones from .L to .R
  • Copy / Prevent Slipping: copy the active object's global transform and paste it over a range to lock feet or hands in place
  • Lattice Warp: deform animation curves with a 2D grid to proportionally scale or reshape large chunks of animation
  • Scale Cage and Scale Box: stretch and warp key timing by dragging a box over the timeline, one-shot or interactively
  • Maya-style ReTime: add vertical time markers and drag them to warp time between them, with Ripple and Snapping toggles

Frequently asked questions

How do I install Super Graph Editor Tools in Blender?

Super Graph Editor Tools installs like a standard Blender add-on. Open Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Install, select the downloaded .zip file, and enable the entry in the list. Once enabled, open the Graph Editor or Dope Sheet, press N to open the Sidebar, and click the Super Tools tab to reach its panels. From there you can access the Grab & Bake parenting tools, Bookmarks, quick utilities, Lattice Warp, and the Scale Cage and ReTime timing tools. Check the developer's page for the current download and documentation.

Where is the Super Graph Editor Tools panel in Blender?

Super Graph Editor Tools lives inside Blender's Sidebar rather than a separate window. After enabling the add-on, open either the Graph Editor or the Dope Sheet, press N to reveal the Sidebar, and select the Super Tools tab. That tab groups all of the suite's panels, including dynamic parenting through Grab and Drop, colored timeline Bookmarks, the Loc, Rot and Scale visibility toggles, Smart Reset, Lattice Warp, and the Scale Cage and Maya-style ReTime timing tools.

Does Super Graph Editor Tools support Maya-style ReTime?

Super Graph Editor Tools includes a Maya-style ReTime workflow. You click to add vertical time markers, then drag them to warp the time between them, slowing down or speeding up the animation. Pressing R toggles Ripple to shift outside keys, and pressing S toggles Snapping. It sits alongside the Scale Cage, which scales selected keys to fit a box you drag over the timeline, and the interactive Scale Box for dragging edges to adjust timing. Together these handle stretching, squashing, and warping the timing of your keyframes.

Is Super Graph Editor Tools free?

Super Graph Editor Tools is listed as free in this catalog. Since licensing and pricing can change over time, check the developer's page on superhive for the current terms before you download. The add-on covers dynamic parenting with Grab & Bake, timeline Bookmarks, one-click utilities like Smart Reset and Flip Bones, Lattice Warp for reshaping curves, and the Scale Cage and ReTime tools for adjusting timing, all inside Blender's Graph Editor and Dope Sheet.
