Whether you’re working on gameplay animation, cinematics, or polishing a showreel, this rig is designed to support a fast and efficient workflow.

The rig provides a solid balance between flexibility and stability, giving you the control needed to create believable movement while maintaining consistency across your animation passes. With a clear control structure and animator-friendly design, it’s well suited for both beginners looking to learn and professionals working in production environments.

This rig is ideal for:

• Gameplay animation, including locomotion and combat

Built with real-time workflows in mind, it integrates well into modern pipelines and allows animators to iterate quickly without unnecessary complexity.
