It supports apparel features such as outer sleeves, inner sleeves, cuffs, and seams, each boasting a flexible number of adjustment options. Advanced stroking features provide precise control over how limbs integrate with character designs through the options of full stroking, side stroking, and more.Â

IK Studio limbs can be modified to round or butt cap and stretchiness features allow for snappy, squash-and-stretch style character animation. IK Studio can bind any layer to the parent or child limbs, thereby allowing the attachment of clothing accessories as well as fully custom-designed character limbs. Its rotational constraints account for realistic movement by limiting unnatural bending beyond defined angles.Â
