Cryptic Studios, Inc. has announced the release of its proprietary Cryptic Animation Rig (Cryptic AR) under the GNU General Public License. Cryptic AR allows animators of all experience levels to familiarize themselves with the same tools used in a professional development environment. Unlike other free animation rigs, Cryptic AR is not an approximation of production tools, but the very tools currently being used to produce next-gen game visuals at Cryptic Studios.
