Motion · v1.0

Overlap/Follow-Through Pro

Automatic secondary motion: bake spring-simulated overlap onto tails, ears and chains, or offset existing keys with falloff.

Overlap/Follow-Through Pro
Overlap/Follow-Through Pro — hero loop

Overview

Overlap/Follow-Through Pro adds secondary motion the two ways animators actually want it: bake spring-simulated overlap onto tails, ears and chains and keep editing on top, or offset existing keys down a chain with falloff so follow-through cascades instead of stepping. The output is always ordinary, editable keys.

What it solves

Overlap is tedious to key by hand and, from most tools, arrives as a locked black box. Overlap/Follow-Through Pro gives you a spring simulation and a falloff offset that both resolve to plain keys on your controls — nothing hidden, nothing locked.

How it works

  1. Bake spring-driven overlap onto a tail, ear or chain, then keep animating on top of it.
  2. Or offset existing keys down the chain with falloff, so the follow-through cascades.
  3. Edit the result like any other keys — the output is never a black box.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Which versions of Maya are supported?

Maya 2022 through 2027, on Windows, macOS and Linux. The Qt shim layer handles PySide2 and PySide6 automatically, so the same install works across versions.

Do I need to be online to use ROM AnimTools?

No. Pro licenses carry a 30-day offline grace period. Your tools keep working on set, on a plane, or behind a studio firewall.

What happens to my files if my subscription lapses?

Nothing. Paid features lock, but your pose libraries, brushes, and drawings are yours and stay on your disk. You fall back to the Starter bundle.

Can I use one license on more than one machine?

Yes — Pro includes seats you can activate and deactivate yourself from your account, so a desktop and a laptop are no problem.
