thank you so much! i'm starting to learn AE rigging plugins and i think this video saved my nerves by preventing me of starting with duik

@The_Real_Dream_Chaser Год назад

nice video, very informative, will think about buying Limber!

@bearimo2867 Год назад

Great video and reminder for me to dig back into Limber! I use Rubberhose a lot too, that's also great, Right tool for the right job! For that reason, definitely worth experimenting with and understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each plug-in. Thanks!

@TheKeyframeAcademy Год назад

Rubberhose lack of FK just kills it for me.

@EliseyRodriguez Год назад

Animating - not rigging - that's what I really enjoy! It's really frustrating I have to deal with all that layers mess with Duik. So maybe I should try character animation again, now with Limber.. thanks for the video!

Bought limber a few years ago, but didn't understand how to replace the default graphics with my own, so I used Duik. But now years later with more knowledge and after this video I'll give it a try.

Great video as always! I love using Limber, it's so much easier. I wonder though if there is a way to use it with Photoshop artwork, for example when you have lots of textures and can't easily reproduce this in Illustrator and convert to shapes?

@claudiomolina4994 Год назад

Friend, very useful information thanks. I have a question, do you know which is the difference between Limber and Limber Lite? Thanks again

@portersblackboard 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for such great videos. I used DUIK a couple of years ago and I thought the results were great, but yes, it was a pain to rig. When I did that I rigged the body as well as the face. Can Limber be used to rig facial expressions? If not, I was looking at Joystick. Can that be used in tandem with Limber?

@morganmendieta3738 Год назад

I use longer for these same reasons, but I've also been using deekay too I love it

@kelvinchuks8885 Год назад

Great smack down, Limber is truly built to save time, but Duik is free, I think that counts. I'll love to see you do a smack down between Limber and Deekay tool, or Limber and Hot Dog, that will be great.

@shubhendrapatel Год назад

True 💯

@TheKeyframeAcademy Год назад

That is true DUIK is free, but the amount of time Limber saves you I think more than pays for itself.

@Mihau0794 Год назад

In my experience the most frustrating thing about DUIK were theese snapping joints. I was never able to get it right, especially when working in postproduction studio, where everything must have been perfect. On the other hand DUIK has this misterious "automations" pannel, that i never used, but some people said that it's helpful in motion design.

@TheKeyframeAcademy Год назад

Yeah, the joints are very a finicky thing

@maciejysakiewicz2132 Год назад

Duik can be a serous performance hog if using multiple precomps in high res, mostly due to heavy scripting. How is Limber in this regard?

@saschageier Год назад

used DUIK for many years for a brand which uses cartoons for their energy drink… yes complicated, but if you‘re do it daily for years… will look at limber for sure once they support psd which is essential for this type of cartoons

Soon!

duplicate the arm layer and then you can turn on and off the visibilty of the upper and lower limb groups in the shape layer.

I use Duik only to rig psd layers from my collage animations since Limber can’t do that, that’s how I remember it at least… I wish it could as it would be much easier!

@seansiegler Год назад

Here is my big question for Limber. Can you use artwork from Illustrator as the actual elements you are animating? I And I don't mean converting them to shape layers or using them as a template to re-create in AE. I mean animate the actual Illustrator layers. Because from everything I see, it doesn't seem like that is possible, but maybe I'm missing something.

@TheKeyframeAcademy Год назад

If you're using illustrator layers, what would you gain by not converting them to shape layers?

@seansiegler Год назад

@@TheKeyframeAcademy Some of my artwork doesn't seem to convert to shape layers perfectly and leads to time spent doing cleanup work. I also like being able to make tweaks in Illustrator and have it update in AE. I am going to give it a try though. The workspace seems nice and I'll be curious to see if I can make it work by converting my artwork to shape layers.

@TheKeyframeAcademy Год назад

@@seansiegler Sounds like you could benefit from Overlord, www.battleaxe.co/overlord/?aff=keyframeacademy It is THE only way you should be working between Illustrator and After Effects

@DoooBeeDoooBeeDooo Год назад

does limber allow psd layers (character design outside AE) to be rigged?

@TheKeyframeAcademy Год назад

you can kind of do it, but its not really built for that...at the moment. So I'd suggest something like DUIK or Bao Bones (pricey though)

@nguyenguyen 7 месяцев назад

Dang....Seem like Limber is a tool make the rig base on shapelayer it maked, it easy to use and some point better than. But DUIK not only for 2D Char(vector - cartoons) it also work with PSD file, puppet tool, controler, automaton and more as well, much tools on that. This is reason DUIK always in top tool of AE user. There are so many differences in systems and properties, only a part of which cannot be compare

@TheKeyframeAcademy 7 месяцев назад

DUIK is top because it is free.

@eaglemotion 7 месяцев назад

Yes! You just have to convert your limbs (expressions) to keyframes first.

Interesting, while I agree Duik doesnt have the options of your last segment "dynamic animation", I think most of the other issues here are just bad designed characters, you are not using rounded shapes to connect the parts of the body.

So one can't use art layers from Illustrator or Photoshop... just Limber's selection of auto-generated shapes? That's a deal breaker what? // My bad. It's there. Can it do 'envelope deformers' on shapes (ie. change the contours on the fly... bulging muscles, breathing etc.)?

@TheKeyframeAcademy Месяц назад

No, you can use art layers from illustrator, but they must be converted to shape layers first. Bitmap layers aren't a thing right now....

Even if Limber is not very expensive, Duik is completely free.

Ture. But you pay for DUIK by taking twice as long to complete your rig. Time is money.

3 words: Duik auto WalkCycle

@TheKeyframeAcademy Год назад

I don't personally think the auto walk cycle looks very good, and it is very recognizable whenever someone is using it. Plus, if you really want to, you can use DUIKS auto walk cycle with Limber. There really isn't anything proprietary about DUIK rigs that make them compatible with the auto walk cycle. So in the end, Limber still comes out on top for me.
