Simple Head Rig with Duik Bassel | After Effects Character Rigging

[@carlperl412]

I came for tutorial and I found GOLD

[@UmarMyname]

Wow comment

[@Whatkindofbrickeryisthis]

Five year old video and not even for DUIK Angela and STILL more helpful than the other DUIK tutorials out there. This is what I get for straying from Jake 😔

[@sahilbhagat181]

This is honestly the best tutorial on facial rigging... I really appreciate jake and Niklegin. Thanks!

[@tahreezzmurdifin52]

who is Niklegin ? im new

[@_hunu]

Easily the best free DUIK tutorial on the internet. Thanks.

[@hisparussky]

Dude.. I've watched tutorials after tutorials but yours.. 1 hour and every second is pure gold. Even being a so long video you don't get bored or tired of listening to. Thank you soooo much, you explained just the details I was looking for but never found them.

[@fliptopjim]

Thorough, clean and a fantastic resource. Also great advice at the end for building in fees for supporting DUIK into commercial budgets. Great idea.

[@geoffreywade]

Excellent tutorial!!! Definitely upped my game!!! Learned a lot about using Null layers and DUIK controls. Used DUIK v16.2.28. So at 19:16, when Jake turned off effects in C | 2D Slider, you'll find things are a little different in this version of DUIK. Here you'll need to turn off the effects in the C | Connector which this version of DUIK now creates. Worked like a charm! Thx Jake for sharing! Earlier this week I completed The DUIK 16 Jumpstart. Now I'm off to SkillShare to take Jake's Character Rigging with DUIK Bassel course. Woo-hoo!!!

[@wendyzheng7200]

There is so much detail you mentioned about how to use the software. It makes me a beginner comfortable learning! Super beginner friendly! Thank you!

[@aruvidarshana8314]

You are a king, the real king of aftereffect, perfectly and clearly understanding way of teaching, i couldn't skip a second, Thank you so much Jake. god bless you

[@samazoid]

i keep comin back to this tutorial because it should win an award. every step is so well explained you have a gift for teaching !!

[@astridpinel2789]

this is the most majestic tutorial I have ever seen in the history of everything

[@atakancalskan]

EXPRESSION - 33:42 If you have come back to this tutorial to check the expression of the shape group that you want to separate its X & Y properties with connecting to a null controller properties

[@Edzeddz]

That was very useful! Thanks!

[@mbarr]

Jake, this is BRILLIANT. From start to finish, not only did you teach me all I needed to know for my character rigging, you answered questions I had that most would have completely skimmed over in a tutorial. For example the extraction of the head rigging to the main body rigging, which I had set up thanks to your Skillshare class - (ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT BTW). Thank you thank you thank you!

[@emirkhanbal3129]

şimdiye kadar ki en iyi "connector" dersi bu, belki en iyi "duik bassel" dersi olabilir, teşekkür ederim ( This is the best "connector" tutorial ever, maybe the best duik bassel tutorials, thank you )

[@lifth2249]

This video has changed the way I look at animation. After two years of using animate CC I was needing a change and your videos have not only helped me find it but also inspired me in so many ways, thank you!

[@Diphallia]

The Other Side also look into joysticks and sliders! It’s an amazing script and it works a bit differently and is much much faster/simpler to setup.

[@ItsJustMeStevie]

New to rigging and Duik is the first I want to master before moving to other 3d software. This tutorial is fkn amazing!

[@felipe88675887]

Dude, I haven't seen a tutorial this good in a while. Keep up the good work, because when I take time to comment on a video it means that it is out of this world. Congrats!

[@rafaelmendes3610]

I thought it would be tiring to watch an 1 hour tutorial but it was so interesting I didnt notice time passing.. so many precious tips!

[@sophieredman6056]

This is a fantastic tutorial! I've just downloaded DUIK Bassel and I'm just starting to get the hang of it. Your explanation about the character on illustrator is great, I would never have thought of using a compound shape to move the hairline around. Thanks so much!

[@ivanvukovic5770]

Video that goes to prove that after 10 years in Illustrator you can still discover new things. Thanks for the "Alt + pathfinder" tip, I never used pathfinder this way!

[@consigliere27]

Bro, you explain so well that I (russian) understand everything) Thank you!

[@varshikagulati4641]

The best free face rig tutorial !

[@processandbeing]

I'd LOVE for this tutorial to be updated for Duik Bassel 2. I am trying SO HARD to follow along but the menus are super different.

[@GFXMentor]

Stay blessed brother. That's gold :)

[@Graphic4D_4472]

Hi sir, I also found this guy video very easy to understand

[@StarbubuGAMING]

sir You are also doing character animation?

[@walkthroughgamingworld14]

NAMASTE SIR AAP YAHAN P

[@totlenmoingay]

This is GOLD for AE learners!

Why this guy didn't have Million+ subscribers? Your work is so awesome man, ❤ from Pakistan ...

[@secret_things7944]

this video is so incredible. im probably going to watch this 100 times, this video is helpful on so many levels. thank you for taking the time to make it and covering so much

[@ArilsonOZ]

This Tutorial is such a blessing

[@martynabakowska185]

Such a good tutorial, thank you. I've been using AE from quite a long time but nonetheless you've taught me some basals I hadn't know before and obviously, you have greatly explained all connectors secrets. I was doing a face rigging with you all the day and met some complications, fortunatelly solved then. My advice: at head properties it's better to keyframe shape path as a horizontal movement (to sculp cheeckbones, face profile etc). To make vertical movement it's enough to change Y position parameter. At the beginning I made it like you but then I need to emphasise cheecks and it was hard. Anyway, thank you so much. You do such a wonderful job! Keep on doing it

[@saeedmohammadi635]

awsome turorial, I use Joystick n sliders for head rig and this video gave me a good perspective on duik and its benefits over the JnS. its a lil bit more complicated but also more accurate Thank you Jake!

[@max-vo9jb]

这是我见过最棒的教程，没有之一，细节满满，毫无水分！

Man this is the best KZbin tutorial. Thanks a lot.

[@nicknamebobbi5526]

Your last Duik tutorial and this one has helped me a lot with doing my animation final for my class. You make it so easy to understand Duik. Thank you so much for uploading! 🤗♥️

[@tw_ghost5672]

I was always fascinated by trap soft, been listening to trap long ti and i finally decided that i will try to make my own but i was so

[@nitromusik9275]

Absolute gold content! Id love to see a 2024 version of this, maybe even comparing Duik Angela to other plugins.

[@catofilm2823]

Successfully implemented! This tutorial is too good. Your videos are really educational, never stop making them. Subscribed.

Hey jake why did you stop uploading? Your tutorials are the best.

[@Polars011]

I was actually going to ask the same question

[@muhammadbilalmemon271]

You can find his courses on skillshare.com, he is active on that platform.

[@H2GKursusOnline]

A guy needs to live, he cant do that if he keeps on making free tutorials.

[@muhammadbilalmemon271]

@@H2GKursusOnline he could have earned more than Skillshare through KZbin, I guess because he has 50k students on Skillshare but he could easily had 2M subs on KZbin. He is a pro teacher.

[@H2GKursusOnline]

@@muhammadbilalmemon271 if he could he'd already do it. The fact he chose Skillshare over KZbin already tells you something.

[@ThanhLe-qm8oj]

you save a lot of people with this. True GOLD.

[@OFGAnimationStudio]

Excellent class explaining everything for head rig with duik bassel. Thank you very much Jake for your effort and contribution.

[@izzyscarlet7133]

Literally the best Duik tutorial I've ever watched. Thank you for this

[@avejson]

For hair at 2:02 , after having selected the two objects, you have to press ALT before clicking on " Subtraction ", otherwise it doesn't make a compound layer ! Have a nice day ! Pour les cheveux à 2:02 , après avoir sélectionné les deux objets, il faut appuyer sur ALT avant de cliquer sur " Soustraction ", sinon ça ne fait pas un calque de composition ! Bonne journée !

[@miladmohammadi3953]

thank you jake youre saving us from confuising in tutorials

[@sebward7781]

Great video, I did your course on After effects basics and character rigging in Skill Share. I didn't know after effects at all, before taking your class and now I create content at my work. Thanks a lot Jake :)

[@MSAM-xe7rk]

This is the best Duik tutorial i ever watch !

[@gopinath6290]

oh my god you have changed my view on facial animation. Just awesome

[@myleneaguilar462]

woahhhh... I just learnt so much in this video, my brain is on fire LOL. I studied motion and 3D animation in college but they never teach us these things.

[@gustavosaliola]

Subscribed!. And thanks so much for this one, that besides being an Excellent head rig Duik tutorial, gave me the "Convert to shapes" that didn't knew and it's mega useful. Kudos from a fellow Motion Designer in Argentina.

[@Shkedz]

That's a really good tutorial, thank you! I have just a small critique which is regarding the movement of the ears. Whenever the head turns upwards, the ears should go downwards, and vice versa, in order to create a more 3d'ish illusion. However I realize that the specific design you prepared wouldn't work so good with this concept because then the contour lines won't align. I think this is something that should be taken in consideration when designing a character, but then again it's just a friendly advice. There are defiantly no rules when it comes to creativity. Thanks again, this helped me a lot!

[@joshuawright6079]

Thanks so much for this amazing tutorial Jake! I'm about halfway through rigging the head at the moment and am just getting stuck parenting the expression at 32:30. When I try to write the code AE comes up with error: "undefined value used in expression (could be an out of range array subscript )" My project settings are currently set to Javascript too. Any help would be appreciated!

[@meili8428]

So practical! Best facial rigging!

[@dakshatakhedekarsr.uidesig5845]

This is really great tutorial for intro of duik bassel , explained well bit by bit. Thanks a lot keep up the good work. 😊👍😇

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Super cool intro! I like it when tutors first show what they about to show and learn us. Much appreciated :)

[@nahdejda]

best tutorial in my whole life thank you so much

[@PericlesCosta28]

Muito bom Jake, não entendo praticamente nada de inglês, mas com minha experiência nesta área maravilhosa de animação e motion, conseguir aprender 100% as técnicas desse poderoso script DUIK BASSEL, que está incrivelmente superior ao anterior, ainda unificando de forma muito mais prática o que o Joystick N' Sliders faz. Meus parabéns.

[@javebjorkman]

Duuuuuuude this is life changing

[@Diphallia]

I use both duik and joysticks n’ sliders together in my workflow. Setting up a head rig in joysticks with a 5-pose system is much much faster and easier. You should check it out, it won’t do everything you want, but when used together, you really get the best of both worlds. If I only need a character that can look up, look right, turn head left and right I can rig it in 15 minutes by just animating the shape property. If I have a character that’s only on screen for one or two shots, Is in the background or if it has a limited range of motion joysticks and sliders really have saved me a lot of time.

[@ThomasGrootoonk]

Thank God for this tutorial whew

[@ahsnsb]

it's so resource intensive

[@madtwist2364]

This is such an amazing tutorial, and solidified my decision to try animating with AE. I'm a newbie, so please bear with me if it sounds confusing, but after doing all the rigging, is the actual animation done in the same file, or referenced/new composition'd out (as to keep the original file clean)? All for the sake of cleanliness, but you do mention it being more processor-heavy...

[@tigbang]

Estoy flipao de la calidad del estudio q tu das. Bravo! Eres un fenomeno
