FREE script for After Effects that makes 2D / 3D IK units

Description

3DIK is a script for After Effects that makes 2D / 3D IK units. Select 3 layers, and just 1 click, you can set up an IK unit! Parent IK units to your caracters, 3D models, and enjoy making animations.

3DIK includes two versions, 3DIK normal version (3DIK.jsx) and 3DIK “GOKU” version(3DIK-GOKU.jsx). The 3DIK “GOKU” is the same as the normal version except that you can add a pole vector controller. If you are not sure which one is better, we recommend you to try the normal version first.

This script works well with Element 3D V2, please watch tutorial from here.
