Duik Bassel 2 is the free, industry-standard rigging and animation toolset for Adobe After Effects. It turns flat illustrations into fully articulated characters with skeletons, inverse and forward kinematics, automatic rigging, physics-based dynamics and a rich animation library — all inside one dockable panel.
What Duik Bassel 2 does
Add bones to your artwork and Duik connects and structures them for bipeds, quadrupeds, birds, fish, tails, hair and custom setups. The automatic rigging step wires up controllers, IK/FK switching and constraints so your character is posable in seconds.
Animate with control and physics
Once rigged, you animate with intuitive controllers instead of hand-keying layers. Add dynamics for spring, bounce and follow-through, and refine timing with the built-in easing tools for natural motion.
Why designers rely on it
Rigs are non-destructive and reusable, controllers stay clean and labelled, and the whole toolset is actively maintained and free — making it a favourite of studios, freelancers and students alike.
