New: Battle Axe Rubberhose 3 is OUT!

Nonlinear character creation

Animating a character can unlock new ideas for design and Rubberhose was built for exploration. Everything is adjustable and you will never have to trash keyframes because of a new rigging idea.

Stay flexible.

Design

Build a simple rig with a click or by drawing a path. Style limbs with the collection of powerful presets and create your own.

Add additional bend points anywhere along a hose to create S-curves, fingers, tails, dog legs, strings, octopi, or just about anything else your mind can conjure.

Rig

Connect art layers with a new and intuitive hose-parenting and stretchy-bones system to combine anything from small details to complex shapes. Add a whole new level of design freedom to characters. 

Or non-characters. Everything is connected and now layers can be too.

Walk cycle and Recycle

Reuse a single precomped rig multiple times and leverage the power of After Effects Essential Properties.

Set new keyframes, add styling variation, and reuse animation inside the precomp to speed up production.

Personal Stylist

Style presets have been a part of Rubberhose since v2, but never as capable of such limitless potential. Bend presets make customizing the way a hose works even more flexible.
