CutRig 2D is an addon for rigging 2D characters. It streamlines the rigging process by generating clean meshes directly from image transparency, eliminating the need for manual tracing. Users can build armatures by drawing lines with the Annotation tool or placing joints with a dedicated pen-style tool directly in the 3D viewport. The addon automatically handles binding by matching mesh names to guide names.
The tool generates a hybrid FK/IK system complete with auto-IK logic, foot rolls, and smart pole targets. It includes a native PSD importer that organizes layers and configures transparent shaders. For multi-angle animations, CutRig 2D features a 2.5D turnaround system that supports five standard angles with automatic mesh swapping and depth sorting via bone offsets.
