Limber 2 stands out in the aescripts library as an After Effects rigging tool, pairing a Limb Library with support for 3-bone limbs.
Limber 2 is a rigging tool for After Effects, developed by Animatable. It centers on limb rigging and includes a Limb Library, which is accessed via REST and can also be used offline through a locally installed copy of the repo.
Version 2 adds support for 3-bone limbs. Other capabilities include UI panel customization, where the main panel button groups can be disabled and re-enabled in Settings, and name swapping, where the Rename button swaps layer names between two selected limbs. The locator auto-rotation algorithm uses the shortest route, and default limbs offer compatibility with Bodymovin for web.
Limber 2 runs in After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, CC 2019 and CC 2018. A demo video is available on the developer's page.
Limber 2 is best for after Effects users building limb rigs for animation.
Limber 2 is completely free to download and use.
Limber 2 is compatible with After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, CC 2019 and CC 2018. That range covers current releases along with several older Creative Cloud versions, so it fits into both up-to-date and established After Effects setups. The most recent build is version 2.1.3, released on May 11, 2026. For the latest compatibility details and any requirements, check the developer's page before installing.
Limber 2 is listed as free here. Pricing and licensing can change over time, so for current terms it's best to check the developer's page. On the technical side, version 2.1.1 updated the licensing framework, and version 2.1.3 changed how the Limb Library is accessed, now using REST. If licensing details matter for your workflow, the developer's page will have the most current information.
Limber 2 added an Offline Limb Library in version 2.0.5, giving you the ability to use a locally installed copy of the Limb Library repo. By default the Limb Library is accessed via REST, as changed in version 2.1.3. The offline option means you can work from a local copy of the repo instead. For setup specifics, refer to the developer's page.
Limber 2 added support for 3-bone limbs in version 2.1, released on November 10, 2025. This sits alongside its limb rigging features and the Limb Library. Limber 2 is currently at version 2.1.3, updated May 11, 2026, so 3-bone limb support carries through to the latest build. For more on how it works, a demo video is available and further details are on the developer's page.
