The Bongo V2 Academic Upgrade is available to existing owners of a Bongo V1 Academic licence at a reduced price compared to purchasing V2 outright. It provides full access to every new feature introduced in Bongo V2, including improved Inverse Kinematics and object-hierarchy tools, while keeping the reduced academic pricing available to students, educators, and academic staff. It's the straightforward way for eligible users already on Bongo V1 to bring their animation toolset up to date.
Key features
- Inverse Kinematics engine for rigging and animating mechanisms
