Download Limber v2.0.6 for After Effects on Windows and Mac, a powerful character rigging system that creates customizable limbs for 2D animation using shape layers . This intuitive IK (Inverse Kinematics) tool simplifies the process of creating and animating flexible limbs, making character animation faster and more accessible than ever before .

Limber supports vector art, raster art, bendable paths, puppet pins, and faux 3D tapering effects. It includes over 100 built-in limb presets through the integrated Limb Library, which now features dynamic online updates and automatic cache clearing for fresh content . The script offers three animation modes—IK, FK (Forward Kinematics), and FreeK—giving you complete control over every aspect of your character’s movement .

The most-loved rigging tool for After Effects.

Simple…

Draw a bendy path, click a button and 💥 – it’s a limb.

Or take three circles and two art layers, click the same button and again – it’s a limb, with perfectly rotating joints. For raster layers you can use either method – no need to move anchor points or parent anything.

Limber 2 does it all: Vector art, raster art, bendy paths, puppet-pins, faux-3D tapers and over 100 presets in the Limb Library.

“Limber is the most intuitive rigging system I’ve used, which was a big help in making the character animation process less daunting to me.”

…yet powerful

Our three animation modes make everything a joy to animate, whether you’re a rigging rookie or a crack character animator.

IK – All limbs can be stretchy (or not). Anti-pop will smooth out tricky walk cycles. Easy foreshortening with separate lengths.

FK – For overlapping action, breaking joints, cross-body moves and perfect arcs.

FreeK – For front walk or run cycles and otherwise-impossible dimensional moves.

Limber is a one-off purchase that lasts forever, not a subscription.

Made by animators…

Limber is passionately designed and maintained by two experienced character animators.

We are Steve and Mike. We were character animators for almost a decade before we figured we could use everything we’d learned to build a tool that works the way an artist needs. Something both simple and powerful.
