About Limber 2

Limber 2 is a rigging plugin for After Effects, developed by Animatable. It focuses on limb rigging and offers a Limb Library that can be accessed through REST or used offline via a locally installed copy of the repository. Version 2 adds support for 3‑bone limbs and includes UI panel customization, allowing button groups to be disabled or re‑enabled in Settings. The Rename function swaps layer names between two selected limbs, and the locator auto‑rotation algorithm follows the shortest route. Default limbs are compatible with Bodymovin for web export. Limber 2 runs in After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, CC 2019 and CC 2018.

The current version is 2.1.3, released 11 May 2026. Documentation and a demo video are available on the developer’s page.
