Why we like it

Earns its place in the superhive library for pairing keyframe-based animation speed control with physics time scaling in a single Blender add-on.

What is đŸ”–Timemaster: One-Click Slow Motion?

TimeMaster: One-Click Slow Motion is a Blender add-on from Lazy3D for controlling time in your projects. It lets you slow down or speed up animations, physics, and scenes through an interface built into the Blender UI.

In the Armatures and Actions tab, you can add actions from selected armatures or all at once, then adjust the playback speed for all selected actions. Control is keyframe-based and can be modified at any point — keyframe the speed to 0.2 at frame 100, for example, to set up a slow-motion moment. The developer advises using slow-motion only after your animation is ready.

The Physics section scans your scene and lists objects with supported simulations, controlled through a single Time Speed slider. Supported types include Soft Body, Cloth, Fluid, Particles, Dynamic Paint, and Rigid Body. Geometry Nodes, Procedural Generators, Simulation Nodes, Shader Nodegroups, and Hair are not supported. A Documentation tab covers usage information.

Who is đŸ”–Timemaster: One-Click Slow Motion best for?

đŸ”–Timemaster: One-Click Slow Motion is best for blender artists creating slow-motion or fast-forward sequences involving keyframed animation and physics simulations.

How much does đŸ”–Timemaster: One-Click Slow Motion cost?

đŸ”–Timemaster: One-Click Slow Motion is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does TimeMaster: One-Click Slow Motion support?

TimeMaster: One-Click Slow Motion is listed as compatible with Blender versions 4.2 through 5.1 and works as a Blender extension add-on. It has been used with both the Cycles and Eevee render engines. If you're running a version within that range, the add-on should fit your workflow; for versions outside it, check the developer's page to confirm current compatibility before installing it into your setup.

Which physics simulations does TimeMaster: One-Click Slow Motion work with?

TimeMaster: One-Click Slow Motion supports several physics simulation types through its Physics section, which scans your scene and lists objects using them. Supported simulations include Soft Body, Cloth, Fluid, Particles, Dynamic Paint, and Rigid Body, and you control their time scale with a single Time Speed slider. Geometry Nodes, Procedural Generators, Simulation Nodes, Shader Nodegroups, and Hair are not supported, so plan around those limitations when setting up a scene.

How does TimeMaster: One-Click Slow Motion handle armature animation timing?

TimeMaster: One-Click Slow Motion handles animation timing in its Armatures and Actions tab, where you can add actions from selected armatures or all at once and adjust the playback speed for all selected actions. Control is keyframe-based, so you can keyframe the speed at any frame — setting it to 0.2 at frame 100, for instance. The developer advises applying slow-motion only after your animation is ready and points to the documentation if you need to change animation during slow-mo.

Is TimeMaster: One-Click Slow Motion free, and what license does it use?

TimeMaster: One-Click Slow Motion is listed as free here. The add-on is distributed under the GPL license. Since pricing and licensing terms can change over time, check the developer's page for the most current details before you download it or use it in a project. A Documentation tab within the add-on covers usage information, which is worth reviewing before you get started.
