  • “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." - Ben Marriott

  • “Limber makes rigging characters quick and simple, animating them light and speedy, and presenting them a delight!" - Fraser Davidson, Cub Studio

  • “Limber is amazing. Now with all of the advancements and added features, this is a multi-tool I’d recommend every animator have in their arsenal." - Seth Eckert, The Furrow

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.

Always with one rendering layer per limb, so you can say goodbye to 50-layer characters and reclaim your shy switch.

…Yet powerful

Our three animation modes will take you from rigging rookie to killer character animator:

IK - All limbs can be stretchy (or not). Anti-pop will smooth out tricky walk cycles. Separate lengths for easy foreshortening.

FK - For overlapping wave motion, breaking of joints, cross body moves and perfect arcs.

FreeK - For front walk and run cycles, automated natural elbows and otherwise-impossible dimensional moves.

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.

…for animators

We love animation, and we love supporting animators to make their best work.

Our series of YouTube videos will teach you the fundamentals in your coffee breaks. The rich, online User Guide is the definitive reference manual for when you need it (which probably won't be often).
