Preferences

AnimToolbox currently uses the legacy addons format, but will transition to Blender’s Extensions system in the future. The preferences panel includes additional settings and an auto-updater for seamless maintenance.

Auto updater

AnimToolbox integrates CG Cookie’s Auto-Updater, allowing you to:

  • Check for updates directly within Blender.
  • Schedule automatic update checks (daily, weekly, or manually).
  • Revert to older versions if compatibility issues arise.

Tab Category

Choose where the add-on appears in Blender’s sidebar. Default Tab is 'Animation'.

Quick Icons Menu

A compact icon-based menu can be enabled in the viewport header for fast access to frequently used tools, including - Temp Ctrls, Copy/Paste Matrices, Relative Cursor, Markers Retimer, Isolate Pose Mode and Editable motion path.

Toggle this feature in the preferences or via the header menu itself.


Temp Ctrls

Clear selection Before Creating New Temp Ctrls

  • Enabled: Automatically removes old Temp Controls before assigning new ones.
  • Disabled: Displays a warning if bones already have Temp Controls.

Always In Front

Ensures Temp Controls remain visible over other objects in the viewport.


Include Extras

Optional free add-ons bundled with AnimToolbox (unofficial support).

Multikey

Multikey is a tool used for editing multiple keyframes at once. Use this checkbox to add it into Anim Tools category

RiggerToolBox

A helper tool for rigging, like creating chains based on bone selection.
