Flip pose for a whole animation, all keys

[zoltankovary]

Hey blenderers!

Created a 180 frame long animation in 2.54a with like 40-50 key-frames. This will be for a game, with at least an other 30 animations. All the animations are from left to right, then the same from right to left.

After I finished the animation from one side I can create the mirror of it, by copy-flip paste every key-frame, but that is a loads of extra work throughout the whole project. Is there any method to automatically flip-pose all the keys for the whole animation?

Thanks for any help.

2 years and 2 months later I ran into same problem and have developed an add-on called Flip Animation.

It iterates over all keyframes of an action and creates the exact mirrored poses. Altenatively there is an append mode which considers a specified range only and appends the X-flipped poses afterwards (nice to complete a run cycle or similar symmetric stuff). The add-on places a new sub panel with a button and few options in the tool shelf of 3D view when in pose mode.

I wrote a blog post about this including a video tutorial (the first 90 seconds are enough information to start using it):

Thank you guys, especially @kayyy. I was looking for a way to animate my dragon and i had to mirror a lot of animations to provide variety. Manually doing so would take ages.

I am very new to Blender and the CAD world itself. I am so happy that there are such great contributors such as yourself who take the time to help out others, like me. Thank you for an AMAZING add on which I am sure I will benefit from greatly!

Thank you sir!

Be warned that my FlipAnimation plug-in refuses to work with version newer than 2.6.2. I had no time to fix this
