Kyokaz's Toolbox

by Kyokaz in Addons


Manage your cameras and keyframes, along with a variety of other tools, to speed up your workflow.

Quick Camera

Quickest way to operate your camera!

Operate your camera via the pie menu to control almost everything you need without opening the camera properties.


Quick Pie Menu

Quickly add a new camera using the pie menu (key bind "V" by default, customizable in the Preferences setting).



Add Camera

Instantly add a custom named camera based on the viewport with its own custom collection

Add Shot

Instantly add and bind a camera marker in the current frame (useful for camera switching in animation)

Copy Camera & Copy Shot

Instantly copy current active camera attributes/properties to a new camera. (Copy Shot works the same but with the bind/marker added)

Set Default Settings

Quickly set up a default settings every time you add a new camera.


Camera & Shot List

Shows useful information for each camera like frame range and total frames with few useful features

Set Preview Range


Set a preview range for a specific camera shot.

Set Favorites


Set a favorite up to 8 cameras that can be accessed through the pie menu.

Animation Tools



Toggle Default Interpolation

Allows users to toggle the default interpolation between Constant and Bezier without going into the preference settings.

Bake Per Steps

Allows the user to quickly bake the selected keyframe range with custom steps.

Add Per Steps

Similar to Bake Per Steps, this one only adds a keyframe(s) instead of replacing it.

Delete Per Steps

Deletes keyframe with custom steps.


Rendering Tools


Disable Render for Hidden Objects

Automatically disables render for all hidden objects in the viewport in case you forgot to disable them manually for a render. Excluded Collection is added to prevent specific objects from being applied.

Viewport Render Animation


Viewport Snapshot


Quickly render viewport image and animation with quick options.

Animation Tools can be found in animation related quick panels (Timeline Editor, Action Editor, Graph Editor, Dope Sheet Editor).

Quick Camera and Render Tools can be found in Toolbox Panel (Can be turned off) or in Scene Properties.
