Asset Description

Anim Mod Tool is a Fast and easy approach to Reverse your animation, Mirror animation, Blend animation, Loop animation, manipulate time, pick hand poses, adjust and mix your animation assets.

General Information

Great solution to create new assets, or change your existing mocap and hand crafted animations.

Features:

Reverse Animation ( + offset root to world 0 )
Mirror Animation
Loop Animation (update 1.4)
Blend With Other (added static pose blend in Update 1.3)
Time Manipulation (added in Update1.3)
Hand Poses blend (added 60 hand poses in Update 1.3)
Repeat frames (update 1.1)
Remove frames (update 1.1)
Live updating viewport (update 1.2)

"Start frame" - picking the start frame from which the blending starts in the source animation. (example: if you want blending to start at the beginning, then select 0)

"Target asset" - picking target animation

"Use static frame from target" checkbox - Use Target animation's pose at the certain frame trough the whole blend duration

"Target start frame" - picking target's animation's start point (or the pose frame in case of the "static frame from target" blend)

"Target frames num" - Target animation duration (how many frames of the animation should be blended with the source animation) (example: slide to max. for full duration)

"Start blend frames num" - number of frames for smooth transition at beginning of the blend

"End blend frames num" - number of frames for smooth transition at the end of the blend

"Bone Filter" let's you pick the parent bone from which the blending should start (for example to blend top and bottom motion of the two animations, for example UE character, you should pick spine01 or higher. Then you will have bottom motion of your source animation blended with the top motion of your target animation)

"Insert as new frames" means that you can insert target animation between frames of the source animation without change.

for now, plugins work best for blending animations with the same frame rate

UPDATE 1.4

Make Looped animation updated. (implemented new logic for smooth transition)
Added "Enable root motion" option for convenient "Make Looped" operations
Added Ue4 Mannequin hand poses
Added custom mesh selection for live preview

UPDATE 1.3

"Use static frame" in Blend ( let's you pick any frame from target animation and blend it to the source)
Time Manipulation (let's you speed up or slow down certain parts of your animation)
Hand Poses blend (let's you quickly blend hand poses to your animation. 60 male & female hand pose library included)

UPDATE 1.2

Bone chain selector for Blend animation option
Live viewport ( Now you can see live update on the changes you make before applying to your animation)

MAJOR UPDATE 1.1

Added:

Clear Root bone zero frame offset in Reverse animation - lets you offset the root to 0 at the start of the animation
Repeat frames - this modifier lets you repeat any frame to add pause or exaggerate certain parts of the animation.
Make Looped - lets you blend the beginning and the end of the animation to make them loop (includes an option to add extra frames to the end of the animation if needed and pick the parent bone from which changes should be applied)
Remove frames - lets you remove unnecessary frames of the animation
Blend with other - lets you build completely new animation asset by blending with another animation. Options include:

Click on Apply button (duplicate your animations before using the plugin. There is no going back after applying the changes)

Note: only reverse and mirror can be applied to multiple assets at the same time

ATTENTION: RM Fix Tool might be useful to fix any root motion issues of the animations especially helpful to fix Mocap, create or remove root motion, offset root motion, change root motion direction of the animation and to snap IK bones.
