help wanted

I started this project as a learning experience. I'm an animator wanting to lear…n how to code, and while fun it takes a lot of time. Blender is transitioning to a more robust animation module, which is great but most likely will break AnimAide. Life is getting in the way of me continuing to develop the addon at this time, so I ask if anybody would be willing to fork it and continue the journey for the Blender community. I'm sure a real coder would make AnimAide even better. There is a list of forks but most of them are of old code and don't know if they are maintained. If anybody wants to do it (and gives me the info) I will link it on the main page so people know where to go. Thanks.

Well that’s disappointing. I use this almost daily. I hope another developer picks it up or maybe BF just adds it as a normal feature set.

To get an addon shipped with Blender, the BF requests among other thing that the addon’s developer commits to maintain the addon in long-term. Any addon that is abandoned and doesn’t find any maintainer eventually ends up removed from Blender, especially when it breaks.
And, the BF not being in a position of needing more manpower than being able to spare any, I suspect it is unlikely they will decide to just take any addon at their expense.

Hey, checkout first line on repo

I’m working with Blender developers to bring the add-on functionalities to Blender core (not as an add-on). That way it will be maintained by people that know what they are doing. I’m almost done adding all the Animaide sliders to the “slider operator” that already exist in Blender. After I’m done with that I’ll try to implement animOffset, but I would need more help from them on that one.

That sounds even better! And awesome!

Incredible news! Thanks for doing this. I’m glad that you’re recognizing the offset feature as that’s the tool I use the most with clean up.

Thanks again.

Seem the anima offset is not working in 4,0

Addon’s development is no longer active, so it might never be updated for Blender 4.0. But I don’t think that’s a problem, because:

Happy New Year everyone!

I was wondering If this addon will see light in Blender 4.0
