Character Swing Rigging 1.5.5 for Mac
Mac VideoCharacter Swing Rigging 1.5.5 for Mac is an Adobe After Effects tool that adds secondary motion to 2D characters: the natural follow-through when hair swings, clothing trails behind a step, or ears bounce as a character moves. Instead of keyframing every delayed movement by hand, you build a simple swing rig and let the tool generate the overlapping action.
It is made for character animators, motion designers and explainer-video artists working in After Effects on macOS. The plug-in is paid software sold through aescripts + aeplugins, listed at $29.99, and it is not a standalone app — a licensed copy of Adobe After Effects is required to run it. Check the official product page for any current trial or demo option before you buy.
Key Features
- Quick swing rigs for hair, clothes, fur, ears, tongues and tails
- Automatic secondary motion that follows your main character animation
- Adjustable swing behaviour so stiff and loose elements move differently
- Saves hours compared with hand-keyframing follow-through and overlap
- Runs inside Adobe After Effects on Mac as part of your normal rigging workflow
How to Download
- Buy a licence on the official aescripts product page, or check that page first for any trial version offered by the vendor.
- Download the Mac installer from your aescripts account, install it, and open the tool inside Adobe After Effects.
Is Character Swing Rigging free?
No. It is a paid After Effects tool, listed at $29.99 on aescripts. There is no free full version, so be wary of any site offering one — those downloads are unofficial and often unsafe.
Does it work without After Effects?
No. Character Swing Rigging is a plug-in that runs inside Adobe After Effects, so you need After Effects installed and licensed on your Mac to use it.
