One-click character setup
Build a Physicanim character from a humanoid model. Generate the bones, joints, rigidbodies and colliders that make up its active ragdoll.
Active ragdoll toolkit · Unity Asset Store
Animation meets physics.
Create characters that move with the freedom of simulation and the intention of animation.
Physicanim turns a humanoid character into a physics-driven active ragdoll—with the setup tools and procedural behaviours to get you moving.

Meet Physicanim
Skip the repetitive rig setup. Build a physics-driven character from your humanoid model, then let it walk, run, jump, stumble, fall—and find its feet again.
01 / Made to move
From rig to ragdoll.
Tools and behaviours that make physics-driven characters easier to create and bring into your project.
Animation, with impact
Use your regular humanoid animation as a guide while the character responds through a physically simulated body.
Procedural behaviours
Give characters the foundations to walk, run and jump, then trip, fall into a protective pose and get back up.
02 / See it in motion
Not just animated.
In motion.
Physicanim characters respond to movement, collisions and gravity. When they lose their balance, they can fall and recover instead of simply switching between fixed poses.
How Physicanim works
03 / A simpler starting point
Set up. Animate. Simulate.
Start with a humanoid character and animation you already know. Physicanim helps connect them to a physics-driven body.
Choose a humanoid
Bring a humanoid-rigged character into your Unity scene.
Create the character
Use the Physicanim editor to generate the active ragdoll setup.
Animate and play
Animate as usual and let the character move through physics simulation.
A character in action
See animation and simulation work together in this Physicanim roundhouse kick demonstration.
Made by Tilde Asterisk
Built from a love of movement.
After years of exploring ragdoll physics and procedural animation in Unity, we created Physicanim to make the character setup we kept repeating easier to create and reuse.
Tools for curious creators.
