For Motion Designers, certain After Effects Plug-Ins like Rubberhose are absolutely invaluable. If you add 3D to your toolbelt rigging characters can get exponentially difficult. That’s where Rubberhose Rig for Cinema4D comes in! Eyedesyn just released this brilliant Cinema4D Plug-In where you can create simple character rigs with the click of a button, just as if you were using Rubberhose in After Effects.
This rig is geared towards “non-riggers” with zero rigging experience who want to get a simple character out of the box. It comes with 3 premade characters, but creating characters yourself is just as easy as you’d expect if you know Rubberhose for After Effects.

The rig is “non-joint based” meaning you don’t have to worry about painting weights or connecting joints to your geometry. Rubber Hose Rig will do all the work for you.
It comes with a couple of controls to actually design your characters such as tapering and curvature. You won’t be able to rig a photorealistic character for a Hollywood blockbuster, but if you are looking for a simple solution to create cute / explainer video style character, this is definitely worth looking into.
Based on the character object within Cinema4D you just have to define your limb position and create the rig. If you have used the similar Plug-In for After Effects before, it’s actually surprising why nobody has thought of such a rig before. But EJ Hasenfratz has got you covered.
