3D Character Rigs

Free Animation Training

The character rigs below are free! And we’ve tested these specific rigs to ensure they are working properly.
In addition to these rigs, you can download free props, and some simple environments from $0 – $10 at Turbo Squid. Just filter the price range to narrow the search. There are more than enough free props to suit your needs for any character acting scene.

More rigs to come! We continuously review existing rigs and build new ones.
All rigs are free to use for practice and educational purposes only. Please give credit if using rigs on a demo reel, portfolio, on your website, etc. You must put the credits into the video or in the description.
Rigs are NOT allowed for financial gain (Short films, movies, commericals, etc). Or any commercial purposes.
Rigs are NOT allowed for any offensive material (Sexual imagery, extreme violence, racism, or otherwise immoral content).

For our students: If you wish to use one of the rigs on this page instead of the rigs we already put in the assignment files, here’s instructions on how to get them in a clean file and still have the lighting in Maya or the Shot Comp in Flash from the assignment files.
