Rigging a character in Adobe After Effects takes time to do right. And it's not easy.
That’s exactly why I built Puppet Tools 3. It’s easy to learn, even easier to use and takes the headache out of making a great character rig. And you can use it to rig any kind of artwork—Illustrator, Photoshop, PNGs, Shape Layers, you name it. And all with 1-click.
Controllers for everything
Build and customize controllers for any kind of artwork—Photoshop, Illustrator, PNG, Shape Layers, and Mask points.

Pin-point control
Create custom controllers and connect them to any point on a shape layer or mask path.
