Ultimate Animation Suite - Blender Add-on

Overview

Ultimate Animation Suite is a powerful Blender add-on designed to streamline animation workflows with automated camera animations, rigging, and physics tools. Version 1.1.0 introduces fixes for camera tracking and animation, ensuring all operators work seamlessly in Blender 3.6 and 4.4.

Features

• Camera Animations:
  • Camera Orbit: Animates the camera in a circular path around a target (UAS_CameraTarget), completing one full revolution.
  • Camera 360 Spin: Performs two full revolutions around the target, ideal for dynamic product showcases.
  • Camera Dolly: Moves the camera linearly toward or away from the target.
  • Camera Zoom: Adjusts the camera's focal length for a zoom effect while tracking the target.
  • Camera Crane: Elevates the camera with a sweeping motion, maintaining focus on the target.
  • Camera Tracking Shot: Moves the camera along a straight path, tracking the target.
  • Camera Handheld Shake: Adds a realistic shake effect to the camera.
  • Camera Auto-Focus: Enables depth-of-field with auto-focus on the target.
• Rigging Tools: Simplified rig creation for characters and objects.
• Physics Integration: Easy setup for physics-based animations.

Installation

1. Download the Ultimate Animation Suite Base.zip file.
2. Open Blender (3.6 or 4.4 recommended).
3. Go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons.
4. Click Install, select the zip file, and click Install Add-on.
5. Enable the add-on by checking Ultimate Animation Suite.

Usage

• Access the tools via the UAS panel in the 3D Viewport (Sidebar > UAS tab).
• Create a UAS_CameraTarget empty to serve as the tracking target for camera animations.
• Run camera operators (e.g., "Camera Orbit") to generate animations automatically.

Compatibility

• Tested and fully compatible with Blender 3.6 and 4.4.
• May work in earlier versions (2.80+), but 3.6+ is recommended for full functionality.

Version History

• 1.1.0 (May 31, 2025):
  • Fixed camera tracking for all operators using Track To constraint.
  • Corrected circular motion for Camera Orbit (1 revolution) and Camera 360 Spin (2 revolutions).
• 1.0.0: Initial release.
