Add perspective to character animations 

A really powerful tool explained in under 10 minutes. Nailed it.

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.

Thank you for this tutorial! This has been eye-opening! 🔥🔥

THIS is the clear explanation we’ve all been searching for!

John, you have just blown my mind. This trick is super awesome. I hope your course is popular and many motion designers can make perfect character animation, like you can

You are the greatest! OMG, I have been looking for two years for a solution that wasnt junk and so far your tutorials are killing it for me. Thank you!

YOU ARE A LEGEND FOR POSTING THIS

Wow. Well done, this is fantastic.

This dude is amazing! Man, thank you so much for so many good pieces of content. I am doing this trick as soon as I can! You are wonderful! Nice dedication to the content as well, the intro for the tips on limber lite was just entertaining as ever. Much love

Wow! You're a natural teacher. I feel like I can do Nice tutorialts now

Your video is very helpful. I downloaded it successfully. Thank you!

This is so genius! Thanks for the tutorial!

thank you so much, very helpful

GREAT TUTORIAL!!!

subscribed!! thanks man very helpful

Wooow!! Like I've always believed, You're the King of Duik, and when it comes to character rigging and animation, No one does it better, Thanks men, You're the BEST

production. Thanks again!

well , this is an eye opener.

That's so WOW- thanks so much for sharing!!

Just watched your Duik vs. Joysticks video, trying to figure out how to get started on character animation. I didn't realize clicking on this video that it's you again! Really enjoying your videos-can't wait to watch more!

amazing really help full

Bro, amazing.

working fine thank you

Thank you!!!

Awesome!!!

very good tip!

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.

Very well explained!

BROOO thankyou so much, this really helped and the tutorial was really easy to use as well :)

What a magic!

😄Thank you for your times ..

really cool man, thanks

I am really appreciate that u put your experience, time, effort to make your tutorials to learn us THANK YOU🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💖💖💖💖💖

Wow! I need time to consume this. It feels me like trying to build a space ship. I should do more in math more than introduction part.

Thank you

Success, now I can animate a guy walking into oncoming traffic.

Very welcoming. Thank you.

Keep on doin what u doin

Hi , thanks so much for your crack. It really wo

I am a video producer living in Korea. Thank you for the high quality video. I'm learning it every time.

I followed this to make my characters' pants.. thank you! Excellent technique. One thing I do not like about connector is that it leaves the keyframes up on the timeline layer. If I am making a template for a client these keys might confuse the animator or worse they will screw things up by manipulating them. Therefore I prefer to use a linear function for simple moves,opacity or scale, (not for path changes). I used this expression to move the stitch line on the pants as the character rotates from front to 3/4 view. (btw, I have only basic understanding of expressions, chatGPT helped me out.. amazing) value = thisComp.layer("Body Turn Slider").transform.position[0]; if (value >=0){ xPosition = linear(value,0,20,130,160); } else { xPosition = linear(value,0,-100,30,130); } [xPosition, 0]

Great umbrella animation!

Neat tip🔥

Thanks for the video! What I need to do to get the shadows on the limbs? No one explains that. Thanks!

i was at the 8 minutes mark then i got engrossed in the potential masterpiece i could make and started dancing and bobbinb my head

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.

nice

wow!

Nice explained

That's amazing, but is this feature going to be in Pivot Animator?

Whoa that is amazing! So, am I right in saying you could add this effect to your animation after you've completed everything?

Asante sana

Congrats!!! When did you first start investing

When did after effects add this? This was a thing in spine since forever!

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.

Bold Move

Thanks.

In the GMS switch the “Program” to Analog app 1 TE

Absolute W video. I had a lot of money softowing in in a good ti of my life where I would spend it on dumb stuff. But one of the few good

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???

Is this man Polyfjord's brother lost in the childhood?

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?

good tutorial, one question about soft recording. How do you do it? lol

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?

Little did I know that my dumapp self creating drum softs by making a bunch of different soft rolls was far from the best way of doing

Your soft's cool btw

Has this changed since duik angela? I'm t rying to get the connector to work but the UI of angela is different

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

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

Im sorry for such a nooby question, but where is the duik connector in duik Angela?

Left picture much better

Regardless of how important the information is

Connector is sort of a linear expression. What are it's advantages?

i followed all these steps but when you are using sample that you have imported the program just bugs up.

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

Fell asleep twice

what app is that?

very good! my duik is angela, I couldn't connect the properties with just the rotation, without creating a slider, can anyone help?! ;)

Will i watch your channel 24/7 just to look at that beautiful face of yours? *yes*.

For so wierd reason when I try to use the GMS it just make one loud noise..

so where can we just watch stuff you animated without the tuts?

It's the RU-vid that put ads bruh

can not donwload project file

Limber Lite, Is this not for Mac user?

Hello, this is nice and can you provide me free. aescrip because I need this one

MR. Loldapop

This art style needs to go the way of the dinosaur.

MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

program.

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

One request brother

the text are very small. it's not readable but amazing video
