The Tweener Window

The tool window consists of the various blending modes, additional features, presets and the slider used for favouring the pose before or after.

Blending Modes

Icon Mode Description
Between Interpolates between two adjacent keys, ignoring the current key.
Towards Interpolates towards two adjacent keys based on the current key.
Average Interpolates towards the average value of the selected keys.
Curve Interpolates along the curve formed by the two adjacent keys' tangents.
Default Interpolates towards or away from the default value of each attribute.

Additional Buttons

Icon Name Description
Overshoot Allows the interpolation to move past the target.
Key Hammer Adds a key for every attribute for any key on selected objects. The manual equivalent method would be to go to the first key and press S, go to the next keyframe and press S, go to the next keyframe and press S etc. for every keyframe.
Special Tick Color Sets the current frame, selected keys, or time range to the special keyframe tick color.
Normal Tick Color Sets the current frame, selected keys, or time range to the normal keyframe tick color.

Other Options

A few additional options can be accessed by right-clicking anywhere in the window.

The toolbar and preset button can be shown or hidden for a smaller window.

Keys can automatically use the special tick color. This applies to both new and existing keys. Caution: Modifying key colors cannot currently be undone! Note also, that due to a limitation in Maya, the selected range in the Time Slider panel will be lost when modifying the key color.
