How to Get & Install Eclipse Animator
Step-by-step instructions for acquiring the authentic Eclipse Animator plugin published by @riftkuro directly from the Roblox Creator Store. No external executable files, installer wizards, or third-party downloaders required.
Open Roblox Studio
Launch Roblox Studio on your desktop (Windows or macOS). Open any existing place file or a clean Baseplate.
Open Creator Store
In the Toolbox or Creator Store, switch the filter to Plugins and search Eclipse Animator or paste Asset ID 86116556258301.
Confirm Publisher @riftkuro
Confirm that the publisher handle is @riftkuro. Click Install. Studio will prompt for script permissions needed for IK bone calculations.
Select Rig & Launch
Select any R15 or R6 character rig in the workspace, then click Eclipse Animator in the Plugins toolbar or press Ctrl + E.
Verified Plugin Link & Asset ID Checker
Paste any Roblox Creator Store URL, rbxassetid:// URI, or raw numeric ID. This utility checks whether the link targets the authentic Creator Store record by developer @riftkuro (86116556258301) to protect developers from counterfeit toolbox uploads containing obfuscated require() backdoors.
Transparency Disclaimer: This link checker verifies destination identity against riftkuro's published Creator Store record. Link validation confirms the target URL opens the verified publisher's page; it is not a substitute for reviewing permissions inside Roblox Studio.
How to Protect Yourself Against Malicious Copycat Plugins
Because Eclipse Animator has generated significant community interest across Reddit and DevForum, bad actors frequently upload counterfeit copies to the Roblox Marketplace under deceptive titles. These malicious copies often contain obfuscated require() scripts or place-stealing backdoors.
Always verify the Asset ID is exactly 86116556258301. If the numbers differ, you are looking at an unverified third-party clone.
The authentic plugin is published exclusively by developer @riftkuro. Never install animation plugins from newly registered throwaway accounts.
Eclipse Animator requires script execution to manipulate viewport Motor6D joints. It does not require HttpService access or outbound telemetry.
Frequently Encountered Installation Issues
Q: I clicked "Install" on Creator Store, but where is the plugin in Roblox Studio?
A: In Roblox Studio, look at the top menu ribbon and click the PLUGINS tab. You will see the Eclipse Animator icon. If it doesn't appear immediately, go to Plugins > Manage Plugins, ensure Eclipse Animator is enabled, and restart Studio.
Q: Why does Roblox Studio prompt "Script Injection Permission"?
A: Procedural animation plugins in Roblox Studio require script permissions to inspect and manipulate joint CFrame transforms in the workspace. This is standard for character rigging plugins. However, legitimate plugins do NOT require external HTTP access.
Q: Why does clicking the rig do nothing when I launch Eclipse?
A: Eclipse Animator requires rigs to contain a valid Humanoid or AnimationController and connected Motor6D instances. If your model consists of anchored BaseParts with no Motor6D joints, spawn an R15 dummy via Avatar > Rig Builder first.
