Easy Motion Paths
The new 2025 version 2.0 is available
An easy and stable way to create color motion paths for multiple objects or bones. Simply select objects (in object mode) or bones (in pose mode) and click on "Easy Motion Paths".
The paths are automatically updated in the 3D viewport, and random colors can be assigned to help you visualize your animation paths.

The Easy Motion Paths tool is designed to be simple and user-friendly. It allows you to easily create or delete motion path points with keyframe numbers across the entire playback range.
If you want to limit the visibility of the points to a specific range, you can adjust the start and end frames before activating the Easy Motion Paths button.
It may work well even if you select many objects. It may work well even when you select multiple objects. In Pose Mode, you can work on one armature at a time.
Please notice that due to changes in Motion Path in Blender 4.2.1 (pre and post color), version 2 works welle on Blender 4.2.1+. If you need to work on older version, please use version 1.
Please note that advanced options may be added in future updates if required.
