🏃‍♀️ Stop-O-motion for Blender

Turn your perfectly fluid and boring animation into a stop motion style animation.

Stop-O-motion is an add-on for Blender that lets you give your animations that handmade, irregular feel typical of frame-by-frame stop motion. Perfect for anyone looking to break free from the perfectly interpolated flow of traditional 3D and get closer to that more human, imperfect rhythm.

📸 Stop Motion Aesthetic

Stop motion animation isn't smooth. It has rhythm, it has jumps — it has that handmade charm. This Add-on captures that vibe with features that let you:

• Quantize keyframes: force keyframes to land on fixed intervals (every 2, every 3 frames or even both!).
• Constant interpolation: so there’s no blending between poses — just clean, abrupt jumps like it should be.
• Fill spaces: fixing the spacing to help you complete intermediate poses while maintaining the frame-by-frame logic. (unless you would like to tele transport stuff)
• Stepped modifier: a non-destructive way to apply that jumpy effect to your animation curves, with options to fine-tune the result.
• Noise modifier: a non-destructive way to apply subtle imperfection to each frame of your animation
• Only fix what you like: the operations only work in the selected interpolation curves.
  

All designed to help your animation breathe that handmade spirit — without the hassle.

📦 Installation

1. Download the 'Stopomotion.py" file.
2. In Blender, go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > install from disk.
3. Searh for the file and Click Install.
4. Done! You’ve got Stop-O-motion in your setup.

🎬 How to use it?

Once installed, open the Dope Sheet, press N to open the side panel, and you’ll find a new tab called Stop-O-Motion.

From there, you can:

• Select keyframes: select some or all. The addon works only on selected keyframes.
• Choose a quantization mode: on twos (every 2 frames), on threes, etc.
• Apply different operations: quantize, fill spaces, convert to constant interpolation, add or remove the Stepped modifier, and more.
• Adjust the Stepped modifier's parameters directly from the UI: frame range, blend in/out, influence… all without touching the graph editor.
