man you helped so much I cant thank you enough. And it's amazing that you provide this tutorial for free. So in response to that I clicked your ad, and let it run for more than 30 seconds! :) You deserve it!
This is THE rigging tutorial to follow ! Seriously, i've seen so many tuts on rigging with DUIK and that one have all the answers. Thousand thanks, i understand everything now !
Been following you for a while now, and I've done a tutorial or two. Just wanted to express my gratitude- I've been experimenting with this program once in a blue moon for years and years. I remember when I first picked it up it terrified me; it was by far the most complex software I had ever used at the time (junior high). So now that it's all starting to come together and I can actually create things without using any tutorials... Well let's just say words cannot express the immense satisfaction derived from this. Keep up the great work!
Hello Matt! I found your channel today and Im speechless! There's too much great stuff on here. I cannot describe how truly grateful I am for all your effort your putting into this. I am currently studying graphic design and Im learning motion graphics in my free time on my own. Thanks by you it will be so much easier, and a whole lot more fun. Just wanted to drop some feedback for you since I found this today, totally made my day! Keep up the good work! I will be checking it all out!
THANK YOU I spent four days building a specific character rig for the bone tool and seeing this means I can make simpler better characters that'll be much easier, you sir, defiantly earns a sub, like, and high-five (insert high-five)
Can I hug your brain, please? I love your, ehm, creative use of language, especially your naming convention with random CAPITALS! And yes, yes I would like more character animation stuff. Can I get more stuff with characters?
Hey Matt, first off my hats off to you. I graduated a Digital Media program last year and one of the things I've always hated was rigging characters. I find your tutorials simply amazing and you do a great job, I'm always learning new techniques and I've learned a lot off you so far. Maybe one thing I can offer in return is I notice you're always resizing windows to mess around or show us. Why not make use of the ~ which will maximize the window you're hovering over :) Cheers bud, keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!! I've been scouring the internet for how to scale without losing proportions. Your tutorial helped me so much! Please keep it up! Thank you!
your videos have always been good but your more recent ones are outstanding. you sound a lot more comfortable and confident as well. thanks for the great stuff!
I just wanna say thanks I have been doing your tutorials for a while now and they have really improved my AE skills. Put me above everyone in my motion media classes. thanks :D
Hi All... As usuall An amazing Tutorial!! as i got sickof clicking all single pins to rename them i have used the plug in called leems animation tools Pin to Parent function.. so any or all pions will be replaced with null objects and we dont have to go back and rename anything and those buggers :) the new (null object) replacements got the Parent name of where the pins were.. then if i like i still gave those new null objects names as neck, chest, etc.. from that point i am again following every step you are showing us here as this is the best body control i have tried out so far.. Thank You as always countless times, Cheers.
Really nice! Very helpful. OH BTW instead of selecting the puppet point then creating a bone for each, just select the part their all connected to (e.g L_ARM) and select Bone. It will automatically add a bone for each puppet.
Great tutorial! I watch a lot of your tutorials, in fact if I ever get stuck in something your channel is the first place I look at. So thank you, I have learned a lot from you(:
You, my friend, are a life saver! this is really easy to follow and understand... I needed a tutorial like this to understand how this works... Thank you very much, I can't wait to check what else you have in your vault of knowledge! keep up the good work!
Great tutorial! Very helpful. The version you're working with is a little different than version 15 but the tutorial still helps immensely. Expanding on your idea of using the "Ground" controller to control both feet at the same time, adding a "Hands" controller to control both hands at the same time comes in handy as well. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
you have the gift to teach and explain. thank you. You are really explicit and I'm happy to find a good software's teacher like you! I'm italian and you speak also easily and I can figure out all! ;) GRAZIE!!!!
Hi Matt, I really found very very useful this tutorial. You got my attention fully to new character animation tips, please go ahead! And Duik really rocks!
I just saw the video Hipster the Motion Graphics, I can not believe it's the same voice :). It is very difficult to find good tutorials in Spanish , but you have been easy to understand , so thanks for all your videos has served a lot, I'm starting with AE and your tutorials are very complete, I prefer this than buy a course in my country.
Great tutorial! Love your stuff! BTW You can just Shift or cmd click all your pins and just press Bones and then all the selected pins turn to bones. Saves a lot of clicking!
Awesome tutorial dude, helped me so much! You are telling it clear and funny to keep the attention. Keep this up man, you helping so much people with this.
This is amazing! Thank you, I am doing a large scale project with tons of characters and this is how I will be rigging them. It is so easy and effective! Keep the the tutorials coming
Your a Life Saver dude....!!! and thanks a ton for sharing and explaining the script. I was struggling with this character rig and mesh distortion since past 2 years.... But now it will more fun doing character animation.
That was great! I do have a _WARNING_ though. Don't tell people to click on your ads. It's against the rules. I don't want your account suspended or anything. D:
Thank you for this great video. It was very helpful for rigging a character I've created. Your explains are very clear and on point. Can't wait for more of these.
Awesome video! One of the best I have seen. Thank for you the COMPLETE start to finish tutorial of how to do this. I have not seen any other tutorial as comprehensive as yours. Thanks again.
Hey mate. Just wanted to say these tutorials are brilliant - been in graphic design for a few years but this is the first time I've really started to get my head around after effects. Would love to take a look at your showreel. Subscribed.
Man thanks so much for this tutorial, i've been looking for this but couldn't find it, this is exactly what i was looking for. Thanks man, really appreciate it! Couldn't find the ad to click on it, but i wouldn't mind. cheers dude!
As someone who has never animated before, your explanation was clear and understandable. If this is advance then maybe I finally found the one thing besides cooking I am good at. XD
I'm so sure I'll watch a quality content, that I always click on Like button before click play video button. Awesome as always! Hugs from a viewer from Brazil. :)
Thanks for teaching me Duik in 30 minutes! 1. Global controller lets you scale down but not up, yes? 2. If you select the layer itself that contains your pins and click bone, it'll bone all pins at once.
There is a way to create bones for all the pins in that layer,you simply have to select the layer and press bones and it will automatically find the pins and make bones!
Man im a big fan of your tuts.. they are just awesome and easy to follow. I'd love you to share some more of the animation techniques you mentioned in the video. Don't stop making amazing summits..
Now that we can rig, show us some techniques for animation with this rig! Walking, running, interacting with stuff, gestures, TALKING! Thanks dude love your stuff
this tutorial is awesome. thanks! but you forgot something very important. You must create a crontol for the hips (is where all the animation stars), and conect the chest control to the hips control, because when you´re walking you move the hips first and then the rest of the body follow it. saludos!
Thank you ! I've been using Duik since 2009 and you showed me the proper way to Rig my Characters. And Thank a bunch for the last trick that you showed : How to set a Null that will not make a .AI Character explode when scaling it...To bad it doesN't work if you scale more than 100%. -Mawt Trood
I knew Duik before, but this is a great puppet pin approach. I clicked some ads for ya! Would love to see more about mixing 2D animation with 3D (from Cinema).
Hello man! I'm really enjoying and learning a lot from your summits! like REALLY. so really i can't thank you enough man! one more thing is a problem i faced while trying to follow along with this summit is that I can't find the Rigging option in the Duik script! so if you could please help me with this, I would be grateful!
Awesome video! Thank you for introducing Duik to us. I downloaded it and it has been updated so it works better now. =) I have already watched a couple of your videos and they are great. Thank you very much!
hey matt :D honestly i was just bored with life and i tried to play with after effects. thanks for your cool tutorials! i am srsly learning a lot. way awesome!
HI Mt. Mograph , really nice tutorial. love it. this what i was looking around. a great tutorial explained every aspect from designing a character to final animation. hope to get more tute like this. once again thank u.
Love it, im gonna start D&D videogame stuff so this is pretty nice to know as an introduction to it i guess. Nice video I understood everything. Keep the work up!
wow this is defintiely the best tutorial! can you also do a tutorial on how to animate this rigged character? if you already have or know of a video you can link to with this info, that would be great! i understand keyframing in Ae but is there a way to loop a walk cycle? or do you hhave to copy and paste the keys to manually loop it?
man you helped so much I cant thank you enough. And it's amazing that you provide this tutorial for free. So in response to that I clicked your ad, and let it run for more than 30 seconds! :) You deserve it!
