Hand Drawn Animated Character Rigs in Angry Birds with After Effects | Adobe Creative Cloud

[@kertgartner]

This is by far the craziest and most insane rig i've ever seen for After Effects. Wow!

[@kirk.illustration]

Very cool video. Thanks.

[@davidp158]

The crazy amount of work building that rig must have saved an even crazier amount of time in animating. Really impressive work. Thanks for sharing.

[@thanksforcheckingoutmychannel]

For the record, Jussi Kemppainen is an After Effects god. Much respect dude, would love to work with the likes of you one day.

[@ivansivakART]

This is the most insane After Effects character rig that I've ever seen. Impressive!

[@elpitaman]

Wow. These tools should be sold. You guys did an amazing job.

[@HimanshuGodara23]

This is by far the most complicated and well thought out character rig i have ever seen :D

[@TheComputadude]

It looks like an insane amount of work went into this

[@PopCross]

This is flippin INCREDIBLE!!! I was impressed with myself when I figured out basic head and body rigging in AE XD

[@cooljunkproductions]

jesus christ, it is amazing what you can do with expressions

[@aidanbenbow6682]

I agree, although It was also pretty amazing what Jesus could do!

[@cooljunkproductions]

@@aidanbenbow6682 lol

[@richsombie]

I was addicted to this as a kid

[@TehDaniSpartan]

I still wish they still use those instead of the frame by frame animation in later episodes in my opinion

[@isukwithnames1811]

This is awesome! After effects seriously need to look into this. I'm definitely going to use a few things that I learned from watching this. That light tip was brilliant!

[@Sanichotdog887]

This is why early toons is the best

[@primalpropaganda9528]

I want Adobe to buy this and integrate it into CC 2016 as a plugin, because there is no F..ing I could technically build this! Man that is an awesome rig!

[@kbrodeur]

there is no "plugin" it is custom written and built. just like a 3d rigging system, you can't just press a button and poof. you have poser, and other things like 3ds rigs, but they are generic and there is no way to do anything like that as he is faking 3d with 4 months of work to render and chop this all up. It could have been done in maya or maybe 3ds too but it would still need scripting for all the line work and shaders along with pop out controllers and morph targets.

[@STROBdotNET]

wow!! this guy know how to express himself!

[@jshaolin0]

this is amazing.. the amount of work that went into these rigs is crazy!

[@MrKlayVFX]

This is pretty freakin cool, I'll def have to try and adopt some of their techniques.

[@muhammadbhatti1218]

+MrKlay Can you please make a tutorial on this I am confused as heck and I don't know where I can get that detailed manual.

[@doug9098]

Wow! Unbelievably amazing... I am totally blown away.

[@sunilthapa1074]

can't believe, rigger is just a genius mad.........., i think his brain brust while making this rig........... just wow

[@The0ptimus]

3:36 I watched the entire video, but man, I still haven't fully wrapped my head around the "head rotation effect".

[@marchelo1973]

lol

[@Samnold1]

I can relate to that breaking expression so much, always resenting f that Undo doesn't fix it or reconnect it and I mostly have to reload my file(granted that I saved periodically)

[@CondePablo]

nobody talks about the timeline tools thats we need when we animate a rig character. like the hability to select all the keyframes in the current frame to retime the animation. or a way to automatic create hold frames (for the layout and keyframe position of the animation). this is eaven exist?

[@muhammadbhatti1218]

They need to make this a tutorial and I don't care how long it is.

[@pejmanbehbahani4612]

+Muhammad Bhatti took their team 4 months to make that rig,... I guess a 40 years long tutorial is in order.

[@JNSStudios]

Yes I need this tutorial

[@WesleyTRVOfficial]

This rig needs to be available for download. So in that way I can make a (possible) 4th season.

[@EpikBirb]

They switched to the objectively better frame-by-frame animation by season 2

[@Mckdirt]

This is pure brilliance!

[@andraco]

Damn can we get that manual that you threw away? Also the sauce please? I would pay.

[@KuneMaster]

Would be awesome if adobe could integrate a Rig System for 2D Animation into AE. Not as complex as this one, but for an easier rigging with IK, Lip Sync and a nice Control Panel to animate.

[@DelfosAnimation]

Search for Duik from DuDuF. It's a free script

[@KuneMaster]

Delfos Thx... that's the one I'm currently using. But it would be handy if this and more features would be integrated into the puppet tool anlong with a well structured panel to control the rig, so you don't have to build the Rig from scratch everytime you make a new character.

[@saulyance]

There are some scripts created for this matter, they're not as useful as making your own customized rig. But if you're looking to save time and work faster, they will definitely help you.

[@jonnyethco]

This is AWESOME!!!!!

[@TacoRemixx]

DUDE right!? Beats the hell out of the tedious flash animation!

[@thenikhilray99]

TacoRemix this is tedious😂

[@ahmedexmor]

Appsro wth! nice to see you here bro!!

[@santiagosancho2317]

Why isn't after effects adding something like this for its next version? It would be HUGE

[@santiagosancho2317]

basically every single problem when animating SOLVED with 1 plugin...

[@andreavega2547]

+santiago sancho it would be amazing!...Sadly, nothing they make is user friendly.

[@Talleyhoooo]

+santiago sancho They have, it's called expressions

[@SamnoldTelfort]

+santiago sancho right

[@brokenstudiotv]

Agreed!

[@TwoWords]

So that grid of mouth expressions at 13:11 - is that something built into After Effects or is this a panel made from expressions? It looks flippin amazing. I just don't understand how you'd get to that point.

[@videomissionary]

I've been trying to find a plugin that can accomplish something like they show at 13:00 for lip syncing. (Similar to Flash's Keyframe Caddy plugin) Is anybody aware of something like this? The closest I've found is Leem's animation sprite swapper, but it's only text-based, not thumbnail based like what they show here.

[@sonarburn]

I can't stop watching this... Mind had been Blown. The interface they created is so beautiful and puts my early rigging when the Puppet tool first came out to shame. Shame! Where is there a code or rig resource from these guys?

[@noidexe]

For small teams there are other tools like Blender or Anime Studio where you can do roughly the same out of the box without people specialized AE scripting and tooling. Especially if you're gonna work with more complex characters.

[@DavidLGood]

+noidexe That's not really true. Blender is a full-on 3D modeling, Animation, and Rendering application. You don't get this kind of functionality "out of the box." You'd have to spend hours and hours and hours rigging your characters to be anything close to what they've presented here. Same with Anime Studio, or any other software. What they're demonstrating here is a custom rig.... which I've had to do both in After Effects as well as in other 3D applications (Cinema 4D, Electric Image, Blender). No application comes with this kind of preset rigging "out of the box."

[@jamesrichards5532]

Thank you so much for sharing this! To know it's possible is more than enough for me to get started in figuring out AE. You rock!

[@o3omng]

Where can i buy the book that he said at 4:47

[@Tabish3304]

+최민기 Probably in the trash bin

[@o3omng]

Tabish3304 No, I work on this field.

[@Versiris]

For real though guys... please sell this plugin... TAKE MY MONEY!!

[@e11world]

This was brilliant!

[@mbarok]

Absolutely amazing.

[@Bisaxo]

Love this concept creativity

[@macedhx]

Thats amazing!

[@grggski]

this is brilliant !

[@KuneMaster]

Wow this Rig is just awesome, I wonder how long it took them to develop it. I've done some way simpler rigs in AE and it took me days to complete them and compared to this it can't do anything ;-)

[@jussikemppainen]

4 months for the AB rig and 2 years of legacy.

[@playplaynirmal]

yup, totally agreed, i just finished creating an expression just to add random rotation and position to null layers over time, all those while loops n i was so happy to create it, ... n now, oh fuck, haha, i feel , i dont know what to say...

[@paddymacfisto]

Jussi-Petteri Kemppainen Time well spent man, excellent work. How are any of the rest of us supposed to live up to this eh?

[@someghosts]

It's pretty crazy that we have to spend so much time making stuff like this. Why isn't it built into the program? Why can't they use a 3d beak, have a tool to make 2d shadows and physics to do the squashing? Would Maya have been a better option? Seems like they are using a program for something it isn't meant to do. I'm asking this as a genuine question, they know far more about animation then i ever will, not implying they don't know what they are doing.

[@trollimusprime8521]

Good lord, why not just animate all this in Maya?

[@laurel8831]

Amazing work

[@Bisaxo]

This is cool>>>> How can i get this plugin for aftereffect boow

[@Talleyhoooo]

+Ajayi Solomon It's most likely not for sale, most animation studios keep their proprietary tools exclusively for internal use. Though I can say, if you're crafty, you can develop your own tools and systems.

[@kbrodeur]

it isn't a plugin

[@Bisaxo]

Hummm... I see. Thought as much. So what about adobe character animator. Isn't for cc aslo?

[@wa3dmedia]

How can you control on the animated character , what used to be done, and how can I get it ?? Please respond quickly

[@RobbertScholten]

wa3dmedia not

[@TibboUK]

The money I would spend for that file!

[@thenikhilray99]

TibboUK or just buy Anime studio . you could much more 😉

[@mr.motionguy8402]

Isn't there a plugin where it makes rigging a character really easy in AE?

[@MrKlayVFX]

Duik is pretty good, and the new version has a auto rig feature.

[@mr.motionguy8402]

MrKlay Thank you so much :)

[@alanbroussard4318]

I need that rotate tool. BAD.

que programa estan usando? lo quiero

[@tloooooly6902]

? Can I get pose tools

[@aminyusof574]

can you explain how to create that shadow??

[@jussikemppainen]

If you pause the video at the frame with the expression, you can see exactly how it was made. That code is running 3x on 3 different puppet pins attached to the shadow.

[@FrazerBarrington]

amazing!

[@aidanbenbow6682]

Is it possible to get access to the book?

was a plugin used or just expressions?

[@jussikemppainen]

Both. Mostly expressions but also some custom scripting.

[@Gustavotorqueto]

Awesome!!!! =)

[@MrRichyDude]

ARRRRGGH! Amazing! Please can someone (1) Teach me this properly, then (2) give me a job doing it

[@Isabella817]

Why they don't use ToonBoom?? It's much easier...

[@jussikemppainen]

We did extensive research into ToonBoom, but were unable to produce the same painterly look with art directed lighting for a puppet character.

[@tazatriste]

Jussi-Petteri Kemppainen What about Anime Studio? It can make most (maybe all) of we can see here.

[@Visualbugtv]

Jussi-Petteri Kemppainen with harmony you can ;) or using toon boom + nodes + after effects ;) faster results......

[@kbrodeur]

do you have an example of your work using toon boom > nodes > afx online?
