What the rig gives you
Built so animators spend their time animating. Every control is reachable, every setting is where you expect it.
Arms and legs
- IK/FK blend, with one-click matching that does not move the limb
- Stretch, and soft IK that eases into full extension
- Elbow and knee pinning to the pole vector
- Bendy limbs with twist controls and volume preservation
- Hand and foot roll with heel, ball and toe pivots, and a no-flip knee
Spine and neck
- FK, reverse FK and IK, layered together
- It always stretches, and keeps its thickness automatically
- Squash controls and one micro controller per joint
Hands
- Every finger has FK with an IK option
- Stretch and bone thickness controls
- Helper joints keep the knuckle volume as fingers bend
Eyes and head
- One look-at target for both eyes, plus a target for each eye
- FK eye rotation on top, for fine tuning
- Choose whether the target follows the head or the world
Space switching
- Hands, feet, head, neck and eyes follow what you choose
- Global, hips, chest, head, clavicle and more
- Switch spaces without the controller moving
Correctives and breathing
- Corrective controls move automatically as joints bend
- Automatic breathing with an adjustable rate
- Switch it off, or key it by hand
Made for animators
- Settings appear on every controller of a module, so there is no gear to hunt for
- Extra layers stay hidden until you switch them on
- Picking a controller never selects the ones below it
- The right side is a true mirror of the left
Built for production
- Matrix-based: no constraints except pole vectors
- Stretch, volume and soft IK stay correct at any scale
- Clear names, and selection sets for controllers and joints
- Works on referenced characters
- A props linker at the wrist
Face rig
- Matrix-based face rig with its own controller set
- Select the whole face in one click
