5 Things You Didn't know about DUIK BASSEL 2 That Will Blow Your Mind!

[@DonTNguyen]

That Duik Extract is so useful!

[@TheKeyframeAcademy]

It really is!

[@wimmas5451]

I literally just learned something that will simplify my current project. And it randomly just started playing. Being able to extract the controllers just made my day a lot easier. Thanks for this video.

Thank you so much for show the parent restraint I am to start working on a series of videos for a client and I used to hide the parented layer and replace it with an unparented layer.

[@leomass]

Amazing tips! Someone knows if is possible to change just the controller icons for another in a easy way?

[@gregkrazanski]

really great tips! LOL your many interjections remind me of an SNL sketch or something. "if you are still TOTALLY LOST and have no idea WTF IS HAPPENING, you'll hopefully understand by the end!"

[@tedintorcio5287]

Duuuuude! This is THE bomb! Thankyou thankyou!

[@speedlag]

Great video! A lot of these tips are why I Stan this plug-in. I wonder if using Hold keyframes on the Weight would alleviate the issue at 5:39, it certainly helps similar issue with the connector. Bonus tip: A step can be reduced at 7:47 by holding CTRL with the Child layer selected, it will auto-parent the new controller.

[@TheKeyframeAcademy]

Tried the hold keyframe, doesn't seem to address the issue at all. I've reached out to DUDUF directly to see if they are aware of the issue or not.

[@rxlab]

@@TheKeyframeAcademy Hi, Duduf here ;) I've just stumbled upon the video, which is great! There may be two reasons for the issue: - either it's because of the performance optimizations the constraint has to do; in this case, the workaround is to raise the "motion blur precision" value in the effect; that forces Duik to compute subframe interpolation - or it's because at the time the weight is turned to 100%, the current frame is ignored. In this case, moving the weight keyframes a frame earlier should fix the issue Let me know if any of these worked!

[@madtwist2364]

The only downside of this is the lag, which really slows down your previews even on a fast computer. It's still worth it just for the organization, but it's a thing to consider.

[@nicolas.kannov]

That's such a good video, as always! 😁 2:59 Never explored that parent constraint feature and although it seams it can be really useful, I feel like I won't use it because of that 5:52 "bug". I knew about the power of connectors, but seeing the real world applications you showed it just opens my mind for new possibilities. Thank you so much for the knowledge John! 👍

[@TheKeyframeAcademy]

I know! It's such a bummer about the buggy parent constraint. I included it in hopes that someone might provide an answer as to why it does that.

[@matthewroberts7244]

@@TheKeyframeAcademy would it work to use DUIK to do the grunt work with the parenting constraint, then you could potentially switch to baked KF (maybe using something like 'easy bake)' - enabling a fix for wonky glitchy frames? It's not ideal, but could still be a quicker way to get the results needed than just doing it all by hand?

[@TheKeyframeAcademy]

Not sure, but that is something I'll have to try.

[@chloelewis5603]

5:57 One thing that might fix this (not tested) is to double or quadruple ur frame rate, place a frame where the glitch was after correcting the assets position and then revert back to the lower frame rate. This Key frame will not be visible but should still exist and might fix the problem.

Hey thanks somuch, can you share the project in this tutorial.Because I still not really understand the way you did.

[@felixrauhut578]

Great stuff and tutorial sir! Unfortunately I didnt't manage to get the bicep to grow when dragging the IK Hand Controller as shown at 12:28. For me it seems you didn't explain how to parent the hand IK controller to the rotation of the forarm. I mean you explained how to drive the bicep's bending via the rotation of the forarm but it the end you used the IK Hand Controller (which of course is a lovely result!) I would be more than happy to get help here! Maybe I just missunderstood something here. Thank you!

[@TheKeyframeAcademy]

The rotation of the forearm is driven by the IK controller. So you don't parent the Controller to the rotation of the forearm. You don't parent the IK controller to anything. You link keyframes of the bicep line that draws on to the rotation of the forearm, which will rotate as you drag the controller around (if you rigged the arm correctly)

[@judgeworks3687]

[@seancusson72]

Man I always get pulled back and forth on character tools. I've been using Deekay Tools for a while now and then I watch another one of you videos and start thinking "Dam should I switch back to Duik?"

[@TheKeyframeAcademy]

I mean, I think DUIK gets a bad rap because it's got a steepest learning curve. I personally use it for character rigging about 50% of the time, but I gotta have it installed because of all these other tools it comes with.

[@seancusson72]

@@TheKeyframeAcademy yeah I think I'm going to give it another look just for the other tools. I mean Hell I even paid/donated for it last year so I should at least TRY to use it

I'm not really sure I understand what you are describing.

@@TheKeyframeAcademy I have a character in Adobe Illustrator that was rigged with Duik using Puppet Pins to make it look like the limps of a cartoon. But, then the client wanted to change the color and size of the sleeve, and after making those changes in the same layer in Adobe Illustrator..... in After Effects the limps of the character have weird artifacts just where I use the Puppet Pins (specially in the shoulders).

Can you create full body rig for me in one character? I am small you-tuber so i don’t pay high amount 20-30 i will pay for it

[@gbambagirl]

skipping the structure layer can be trouble IF you need to edit any limp AFTER you have rigged it...

[@TheKeyframeAcademy]

Structure layers slow down AE so much that I still think that it's probably easier to UNrig everything, make changes, and re rig everything up. Just my opinion though. 😀

[@ppgf]

Just split the ball layer in midle air and just use one parenting for each part.

[@TheKeyframeAcademy]

you could do this sure, but then if you need to make any adjustments to the animation you've got to make those adjustments to both layers so that they always meet where you split the layers. You're just creating more work for yourself.

5:52 I haven't tested it and its only a theory but.. it might be because of a shape layer. For me shape layers tend to act funky when used in a character rigs or in other DUIK magic. So suggestion would be to pre-compose it first (for a learner audience Shortcut is a Ctrl + Shift + C).
