Transform character animation from a technical chore into a fluid, intuitive creative process with Rubberhose 2. Designed specifically for After Effects artists, this revolutionary plugin replaces rigid, joint-driven rigging with its signature "hose" system—smooth, bendable vector limbs that move organically without complex elbow/knee controls. The result? Faster workflow, natural motion, and instantly recognizable stylized characters perfect for explainer videos, motion graphics, and indie animation.

Why Animators Choose Rubberhose:

• No More Joint Hell: Eliminate tedious joint pinning, rotation parenting, and angle constraints. Rubberhose limbs bend automatically along their length.

• Vector Simplicity: Create limbs as single vector shapes (fully scalable/stroke-editable). No precomps or null objects.

• Effortless IK: Drag "Handles" to pose limbs intuitively. Automatic secondary motion feels alive.

• Detachable Limbs: "Cut" hoses anywhere for dynamic break-apart effects or flexible limb origins.

• 90% Faster Rigging: Build full characters in minutes, not hours.

Key Workflow Wins:

1. Style Flexibility: Perfect for minimalist, thick-stroke designs (think School of Motion or Jake Bartlett styles).

2. Seamless AE Integration: Animate natively with AE’s graph editor. Compatible with Duik Bassel, Limber, and other rigs.

3. Auto-Wrist/Ankle Rotation: Limbs intelligently orient hands/feet as they move.

4. Dynamic Parenting: Easily attach props to hands or swap limb controllers.

5. Walk Cycle Tools: Pre-built walk engine with adjustable bounce/swing.

Ideal For:
• Motion designers creating explainer videos
• Indie animators producing shorts/pilots
• Social content teams needing agile character assets
• Artists tired of fighting traditional rigs

System Requirements:

• After Effects CC 2019+ (Desktop only)

• No external dependencies
