Grip Studio – Hand Pose & Weapon Grip Editor

Author reusable one- and two-handed grips for weapons, tools, and props. Pose, validate, save, and apply them across compatible Unity Humanoid characters.

Description

Weapons, tools, props, and interactable objects should remember how they are held.

Grip Studio provides a focused Unity workflow for authoring reliable hand grips directly on the object that owns them. Match the object and character scale, place the palm, wrap the fingers around the surface, refine individual joints, and inspect the complete pose on a Humanoid character.

Save the result as reusable, object-owned grip data and apply it at runtime using the included components.
