Simple F-Curves: This Tool Makes Blender Animation Easy

Simple F-Curves is a set of powerful, well-optimized tools to make Blender animation easy.

Forget about having to manually tweak handles for each individual keyframe and fcurve. Automate this process and focus on the fun part of animation.

If you think I'm exaggerating, just check how quickly you can create a well-polished animation with this addon:

Simple F-Curves is a lot more than just those four controls featured in the video, though.

With this addon you'll enjoy a set of tools to simplify your life as a Blender animator:

1. Cinema 4D/Maya Mode

If you come from either software, you might be tired of manually deselecting recently created keyframes. This option will emulate the way it works in C4D and Maya

2. Armature mode

Blender doesn't automatically deselect the keyframes when you switch bones. As a result, you have to either manually spam 'deselect all' or you might risk of moving more keyframes than you wanted to. If this is an issue for you, turning this mode ON will solve it.

3. Extrapolate

Use a prediction algorithm to make the selected curve(s) longer. Works with multiple channels at once. Perfect for when you have a complex motion going on (move+rotation) which you want to last for a bit longer.

4. Quick noise

Add noise between two or more selected keyframes straight from the Timeline editor. Have a visual indicator of which curves and keyframes have noise on them.

5. Auto-Bounce

Adds a bouncing effect between or after two keyframes.

6. Channel Cleanup

Reduces keyframe clutter by removing unused channels and unecessary keyframes.

7. Exaggerate

Adds some extra oomph to a curve shape.

8. Smoothen

Gradually smoothens out any sharp and pronounced curves.

9. Keyframe Shaping

Shapes the keyframes between two selected ones.

Why Choose Simple F-Curves?

When you have thousands of keyframes across dozens of channels you can't really afford to fiddle with every handle individually. Simple F-Curves allows you to affect the curves of all the selected keyframes at once.

The Graph Editor is a powerful tool but it's meant for surgical work. Simple F-Curves lets you combine the visual simplicity of the Timeline editor with the depth of the Graph Editor.

This addon went through lots of iterations to finally emerge with this layout. It lets beginners and professionals alike achieve the next level of efficiency in their workflow.

Have full control over all the keyframes you have selected. All at once.
