In-Betweens Tools.

These tools create a new pose which is based on the keys surrounding the current frame. This can help to quickly build up in-betweens from already existing key poses.

Blend Pose with Rest Pose

Reference (Referentie)

Mode (Modus):

Pose Mode and Object Mode

Menu:

Pose ‣ Animation ‣ In-Betweens ‣ Blend Pose with Rest Pose

Menu:

Object ‣ Animation ‣ In-Betweens ‣ Blend Pose with Rest Pose

Blend with Rest Pose linearly interpolates the current pose to the rest position. When blending with a negative factor, the pose is moved away from the rest position. Only one keyframe is needed for this tool unlike two for the other.

Push Pose from Breakdown

Reference (Referentie)

Mode (Modus):

Pose Mode and Object Mode

Tool (Tool):

Toolbar ‣ In-Betweens Tools ‣ Push

Menu:

Pose ‣ Animation ‣ In-Betweens ‣ Push Pose from Breakdown

Menu:

Object ‣ Animation ‣ In-Betweens ‣ Push Pose from Breakdown

Shortcut (Sneltoets):

Ctrl-E

Push Pose interpolates the current pose away from the linear interpolation between the surrounding keys. On your current frame, imagine a pose that is linearly interpolated from the surrounding keys. That is the base pose that this tool interpolates away from.

Relax Pose to Breakdown

Reference (Referentie)

Mode (Modus):

Pose Mode and Object Mode

Tool (Tool):

Toolbar ‣ In-Betweens Tools ‣ Relax

Menu:

Pose ‣ Animation ‣ In-Betweens ‣ Relax Pose to Breakdown

Menu:

Object ‣ Animation ‣ In-Betweens ‣ Relax Pose to Breakdown

Shortcut (Sneltoets):

Alt-E

Relax Pose is the opposite of Push Pose from Breakdown. Hence at full influence, the resulting pose will be identical to a linear interpolation between the surrounding keys.

Pose Breakdowner

Reference (Referentie)

Mode (Modus):

Pose Mode and Object Mode

Tool (Tool):

Toolbar region ‣ In-Betweens Tools ‣ Breakdowner

Menu:

Pose ‣ Animation ‣ In-Betweens ‣ Pose Breakdowner

Menu:

Object ‣ Animation ‣ In-Betweens ‣ Pose Breakdowner

Shortcut (Sneltoets):

Shift-E

Creates a suitable breakdown pose on the current frame.

The Breakdowner tool can be constrained to work on specific transforms and axes, by pressing the following keys while the tool is active:

  • G, R, S: move, rotate, scale

  • B: Bendy bones

  • C: custom properties

  • X, Y, Z: to the corresponding axes

Blend to Neighbor (Blenden naar naburige)

Reference (Referentie)

Mode (Modus):

Pose Mode and Object Mode

Menu:

Pose ‣ Animation ‣ In-Betweens ‣ Blend to Neighbor

Menu:

Object ‣ Animation ‣ In-Betweens ‣ Blend to Neighbor

Shortcut (Sneltoets):

Shift-Alt-E

Transitions the current pose with the neighboring keyframes in the timeline. In order for this operator to work, there must be a keyframe before and after the current frame.
