☄️ Use along with Unity physics components

Ragdoll Animator uses rigidbody and joint physics, so you can easily apply Unity's components with ragdoll animator rig. Use spring joints to simulate a character attached to a rope. Use fixed joints to attach physical items to the ragdoll animator rig.

✍ Extra Features API

The plugin comes with an "Extra Features" API which allows you to apply custom scripts in Ragdoll Animator update loops without modifying the core code. This enables many cool behaviors, and you will find more than 25 extra features included in the release version.

⚙️ Equipables API

Thanks to this API, you can attach helmeds / hand items to the ragdoll character, including their physics, and also apply custom heavyness of the items to influence the physical animation of the skeleton.

🔧 Helpful Utility Components

Ragdoll Animator 2 comes with additional components, like Magnet Points: for rigidbody manipulation, and a Joint Chains Generator / Single Animated Chain, which you can find really useful for designing custom physical interations.

⌛ Great Performance

Thanks to the plugin's fidelity, you can switch On and Off features you don't need to save performance. You can constantly preview cost of each Ragdoll Animator within the inspector window by hitting green debug icon. You can enable camera view and distance-based or level of detail optimization using Extra Features.

Package works on all SRPs! It's not shader related package.
