Henry's Animation Tool

Create smooth animations, just by posing!

Getting Started

After downloading this addon, you need to bind a key to the hat_toggle console command. You can do this by opening the console ( ~ ) and typing:

bind x hat_toggle

Now press X to see the HAT menu. Press X again to close it.

To select props and characters to animate, open up the HAT menu and Right Click on a prop or character. To do finger facial, or eye animation, you need to Right Click on the ragdoll's face or hands.

Click "New Frame" to record the prop or character's pose.

Finally, click "File" and "Save As" on the top left of the screen to save your animation.

History

I started working on HAT way back in 2009, and back then it was called SMoSuite/Stop Motion Suite. Before, it just hopped from frame to frame without any transition. Now with Vector and Angle lerp-ing, frame to frame transitions smooth into each other.
