What is Character Swing Rigging?

Character Swing Rigging allows you to quickly create natural swinging/rotational motion for any layer(s) or puppet pins. It’s simple fast and effective and gives you full customisability for each part of the swing/rotation. Try it out, it’s a lot more powerful than what you might think.

Then What The Hell is Wind?

Wind is a wind generation tool within the script, it creates natural wind like motion and is automatically added to all layer(s) or pin(s) that you select. Simply apply Character Swing Rigging and head over to the effects panel to have a look at what it can do.

Frustration No More!

Trying to add The Double Albert onto your character and fed up with the 2000 keyframes needed? Or maybe you want to add some natural hair movement or give a character fur, well now you can. Simply create your layer(s) click the create button and The ting goes Skrrrrrrrrrah Pap Pap Kak Kak Kak Skitty Skit Pap Pa And a Poopoodrrrrr BOOM

Character Swing Rigging gives you the power to fully customize every part of the swing rig. Head over to the effects panel of the driver_ and see what you can create
