I'm not sure how you ended up on my feed since I am a Blender user, but this information is super helpful! It happens to be that Blender has drivers which work like connectors, so this is possible all within Grease Pencil (Blender's 2D animation tool). I am really happy I found you since you have so much to teach about cutout animation and it really does translate to Blender.

[@TheKeyframeAcademy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@maxmagnus777]

Awesome tutorial, I've never even touched that part of DUIK. Man, this "adding extra details to the character" can get complex fast. Now you need to add that green (drapery) is following leg and drapery IS not the leg. That would mean you move green (rotate it backwards when you move leg forwards ("drapery is always late" -Animation Survival kit). Next will be changing the shape of it when character moves leg forward or backward to show the structure/curves or the leg. Next, when you have complex motions like kicking or jumping those shapes/masks/paths will be different. It is a good way to start thinking about a more complex rig that would be used in hi-quality animation. I am sure that the demands will only rise up over time for animators. This + better quality animation will probably be two separate paths in the future.

uhm, love the smart way of doing this and it seems fast and great, but how is it you connected "trim" and not "scale"? for me trim reshapes an oval into a cake slice shape and does not squish it. what am I missing here?

[@thecasemakerindonesia6071]

Regardless of how important the information is

[@renatovelarde422]

So do you have like a full beginner course anyplace for duik? I don’t see one here. I use CH for work and then lots of AE for manual animation for cutaways and limbs, etc. And I’m right on the edge between needing better rigging in AE, wading slowly into duik. Don’t seem to be any tutorials that start slow like rigging a few limbs from scratch using duik (many use old versions that don’t make any sense now.) like what exactly does each limb need and what does each tool Do at the point you click on it and what else it needs to serve that animation in detail. (Every tutorial I find is like “set up all this and then this one feature I’ll explain”) I’d like setup from scratch for basic rigs including the limb setup in AI. Also thank you, love your videos.

[@TheKeyframeAcademy]

Check the other videos on my channel related to DUIK. I have a course, but I focus on using Limber for the character rigs instead of DUIK as I think it is way more simple to use for realistically the same result.

[@paolaserrano3236]

Thanks.

[@TheKeyframeAcademy]

You're welcome

[@deeerguy]

Thank you for this tips and tutorial :) If you don't mind, can you explain your computer setup please? Because I am using an iMac for AE but when it come to rigging with DUIK it runs slower than a snail.

[@monsterkilstk7257]

Your soft's cool btw

[@sophiemulders]

i love your channel!! but i am new to character animation... and what would you advice? Rubberhose, Duik Angela or Limber? i am also looking at joysticks and sliders for the faces etc. Duik i have experimented a little but because you explain with limber i cant really place in my head what to do in Duik. Rubberhose i never used but was adviced by a colleague of mine. second question : where to start to learn how to animate characters the right way including drawing them the right way in Illustrator???

[@TheKeyframeAcademy]

Limber is what I use. Its the easiest to use while also having a robust set of features that make converting complex character designs into working rigs. I definitely reccommend Joysticks for head rigs. I teach Limber in my course as well as how to prepare your characters in Illustrator for After Effects.

version fine? Also are the extra plug-ins worth the extra $100?

[@EROKOJR]

This is really cool. Thanks for sharing. I feel like this should also be possible using the 'Sliders' function in 'JoySticks 'n' Sliders' - instead of Duik?

[@TheKeyframeAcademy]

JnS connects the keyframes up to a slider, and then you use that to drive the animation, but I'm not sure it lets you pick whatever property you want to act as the slider. In this the knee rotation is essentially functioning as my "slider"

[@EROKOJR]

@@TheKeyframeAcademy Ah, you're right. Thanks

I know this may be a stupid question (I'm fairly new to animation) but can you do this with an Adobe Program too?

[@markiluc]

But, you can't add a joint with the lite version of limb, right? I can't find the way in rubberhose too

[@TheKeyframeAcademy]

No, you can't. So you could change the "rotate end" to 100% and then use the rotation of the ankle controller instead. Of course if you do this you'll lose the ablility to use that controller to rotate anything pick whipped to it (like your foot) so you'd want to pick whip the ankle to the foot instead. In rubberhose you can add a knee joint in the "manage" section, top right button, "add new center point layer"

[@royaljunior2125]

I dont know why you would add perspective on a character that's walking on a 2d plane. I thought the example would be someone walking down a hill towards the camera or something. Not only that but you add more life to the perspective animation that you could've add to the 2d one. The hat jump, arm bob and movement, as well as the umbrella. Still a good tutorial tho

[@TheKeyframeAcademy]

I mean, it's just one example of where you can add perspective and it's pretty common. Walking toward the camera is certainly another scenario that would require perspective but also is a lot more technical to pull off. If this kind of style isn't what you're looking for, thats okay. :)
