Slow-Mo Generator

🐢 Slow-Mo Generator for Blender

Bring cinematic slow motion to your animations in seconds!

🎬 The Slow-Mo Generator is a Blender add-on that allows you to add realistic slow-motion effects to your character animations — all from the Render Properties tab. Whether you're creating an epic fight scene or just want to add dramatic flair, this tool gives you complete control over where and how slow motion is applied.

🌟 Key Features

🔁 Non-destructive workflow
• Automatically bakes slow-motion into a new Action, leaving your original animation untouched.

📽️ Precise slow-mo control
• Choose Start Frame, End Frame, and Slow Factor (e.g., 0.3x slower).
• Seamless transition-in and transition-out options using customizable frames.

🧠 Intelligent time remapping
• Uses a smoothstep function to create fluid speed changes without jarring frame jumps.

🧩 Minimal setup, maximum effect
• No complex graphs, nodes, or NLA editing needed — just click and bake!

⚡ One-click bake
• Apply all your settings and generate the slow-motion animation with a single click.

🛠️ How to Install

1. Open Blender.
2. Go to Edit → Preferences → Add-ons → Install.
3. Select the .zip or .py file of the Slow-Mo Generator add-on.
4. Click Install Add-on, then enable it in the list.
5. Go to the Render Properties Tab, and you’ll see a new panel named "Slow Motion".

🧪 How to Use

📍 Step 1: Select Your Animated Object
Make sure the object (e.g., character rig) has an Action or animation baked to it.

📍 Step 2: Set the Slow-Mo Parameters
Inside the Slow Motion panel:

• 🕒 Start Frame – When slow motion begins.
• 🕕 End Frame – When slow motion ends.
• 🐢 Slow Factor – How slow? (e.g., 0.3 = 30% speed).
• 🔄 Transition Frames – How long it should blend in/out from regular speed.

📍 Step 3: Bake It!
Click “Bake Slow Motion to Action” 🧁.
A new action will be created with the suffix _SlowMo applied.

📍 Step 4: Preview and Play

• Play your animation and watch your slow-motion section come to life.
• Undo (Ctrl+Z) if needed and tweak settings for different results.

💡 Tips

• Works best on rigs or objects that use keyframed animation.
• Can be used on props, characters, cameras, and more!
• Keep a backup of your original animation if you're experimenting.
