Ghosts is an Onion Skinning Blender addon which aims to compile all the most Onionskin relevant features while keeping it extremely simple.

While looking for such Blender functionality, I had this frustration of not being able to find anything regrouping all at once what I wanted to do.

We have several solutions out there but I thought I needed some sort of BestOf Onionskin addon, one to rule them all 🐨.

Main features:
Ghost Modes:

  • All Keyframes, Direct Keyframes
  • Static Range, Dynamic Range (with step)

Object-wise:

  • Specific frames
  • Jump between Specific ghost frames
  • Find dependencies (ability to use ctrl armatures and constraints, children objects etc…)
  • Force Ghost visibility when object is disabled or hidden (ability to use low/high poly)

Tech Specs:

  • No real object, direct BlenderGL
  • Ghost are cached
  • Auto Update when inserting / updating Keyframe
  • Auto Refresh when changing current frame (making playmode available)

Ghost Shader Tweaking:

  • Change before / current / after colors
  • Change color transition frame count
  • Change look from rim to plain silhouette
  • Option to pre write z or cull faces

  1. This one is really good. Very straight forward design. No idea why 3d onion skin isn't a blender feature yet, it's so essential.
