I had made a similar animation withthe hand rig but the circular joints became evident when i added the shadow layer. Precomping each finger is a smart hack that i didnt htink of. Really good animation and video! Cheers!

[@motionnerds]

I'm glad you found the video helpful! If you have any specific questions about effects, feel free to ask and I'll be happy to help.

[@piemaria_]

​@@motionnerds i don't really get how did you do the line bend in finger joints... is this a separate part or did you mesh it together somehow while applying other textures?

[@motionnerds]

@@piemaria_ All the lines over the fingers are shape layer strokes that drawn over in every finger part , if you open up the project file you will get a more clear view

[@piemaria_]

@@motionnerds thanks again!

wow nice . awesome animation how much time did it take though?

[@motionnerds]

I think i made it in 2 day , one day for research and build , another one for the look & animation

[@xxahid]

This is nice! Why wouldn't you use any plugins, let's say Duik?

[@motionnerds]

I actually made a similar project a while ago using duik , I wanted to see if i can recreate the same results without the plugin & it worked
