The raw building blocks of a rig: simple Python scripts you attach to tell it how to build.
What
The blocks that give your joints life
The raw building blocks of every rig, components that give your joints life. They're modular: you or your Tech Art team can build custom components in Python and the system detects them automatically.
Think of them as the basic building blocks of any rig (IK, FK, Ribbon, Aim), stacked and combined into your animation team's favorite rig.
Why
The lowest common denominator of any rig
Components are the lowest common denominator of any animation rig, meant to be combined and customized for your rigging and animation team's needs.
How
Attach components to joints to give them controls
No skeleton included
Components don't come with a skeleton or any joints. You add them to joints; the simplest example is an FK component that drives a single joint.
Check the attach rules
Each component has its own requirements for how it attaches. Hover over a component in the Palette for the details.
