Puppet Pin Limbs

Puppet Pin Limbs

The puppet pin tool is a nifty party trick. But unfortunately its not great for actually rigging digital puppets. It is more or less just a warp tool. However, when combined with Limber 2, the puppet pin tool can become a more powerful tool for creating character rigs out of rasterized artwork like digital painting.
