The makers of ‘Smart Outline’ are back and released their new plugin called ‘Smart Tween’. The plugin ‘Smart Tween’ was prototyped in Py4D and is a node that allows to tween/ease any value based on various curves/ramp types. By using the node it is possible to create dynamic motions fast and easy – no need to draw complex curves within the timeline. The ten curve types…: Quadratic, Cubic, Quartic, Quintic, Sinusoidal, Exponential, Circular Specials – (Elastic, Back, Bounce) … can be combined with the following four ramp types: In, Out, InOut, OutIn.

Smart Tween can also be used as effect when working with particles. Further features are limited, delayed looping, pingpong and a curve preview.

Check out this cool library. It contains several Py4D nodes which are very easy to use and might be helpful.

• Print all inports
  The value of all inports will be printed out to the sandbox.
• MinMax Nodes
  Will return the min / max value of all inports.
• Transitions
  One of the best nodes ever used in XPresso. Use it to make animations much smoother.
  Thanks to smart-page.net. The C++ version is known as ‘Smart Tween’.
• Converters
  Just a few converters
• Extract Data
  Extract information from specific datatypes. SplineData, Gradient, …

To get the package, follow the installation guide in the zip file.
