About PuppetMaster – Unity Editor Tool & Plugin

Unity Active Ragdoll Physics and Character Tool

PuppetMaster is an advanced active ragdoll physics framework and character setup tool designed to bridge physical simulation with animated character controllers in Unity. Built to enable dynamic physical interactions, the system allows characters to remain driven by animation while responding physically to impacts, forces, and environmental obstacles.

Ragdoll Creation and Scene View Authoring

The system features a rapid setup workflow that allows developers to create biped ragdoll structures with a single click across all biped characters. Once configured, joint limits and colliders can be edited visually and intuitively directly in the Scene View, removing the need for manual coordinate adjustments in the inspector.

In addition to standard physics reactions, the package provides tools to animate ragdolls directly and build procedural behaviors for ragdoll characters. The underlying editing and simulation tools support Humanoid, Generic, and Legacy rig structures, ensuring versatility across varied character hierarchies.

Integrations and IK Compatibility

The package integrates cleanly into animation pipelines, offering full compatibility with Unity's built-in IK tools as well as Final-IK. Dedicated integration demos are provided within the package folder structure to demonstrate synchronized physical simulation alongside inverse kinematics workflows.

Use Cases

• Suitable for action and combat games requiring active ragdoll characters that absorb physical hits without cutting animations completely.
• Can support physics-based brawlers or platformers needing interactive biped characters driven by procedural behaviors.
• Useful for setting up physical colliders and joint limits visually on Humanoid, Generic, and Legacy rigs.
