About Deekay Tool

Deekay Tool is an After Effects extension created by Motion Design School in collaboration with Deekay, aimed at character animators. It combines three main components: a Rigging System that uses a novel approach with optimized limbs, an Assist panel that streamlines common shape and animation tasks, and an Animate feature that provides intuitive controls for creating motions such as walking, running, dancing, jumping, swimming, or flying. Characters can be built and saved with a single click. The extension lists compatibility with After Effects versions 2020 through 2025. It is distributed as a free download, though licensing terms may change, so users should verify current conditions on the developer’s page before installation.
