Watch my Skillshare course on rigging with Duik Bassel: skl.sh/2U4OYdA
In this video, I'll show you my process for designing a character in Adobe Illustrator for rigging in Adobe After Effects using Duik Bassel. We'll talk about how I plan out my character design, build the character with rigging in mind, and use Duik to rig and add an automatic walk cycle to the rig.

This is actually a godsend. I'm trying to learn design and character design because I'm not an illustrator (only animator) so this video is on point. Great video Jake. Thank you!

@allyncia 2 года назад

Thanks for this video, Jake! This helped me a lot. Hoping to get ready for some coursework on designing and rigging characters this year. Took me many times but, it finally clicked! Also still getting my head around how to apply everything from ABC and your PS and IL Unleashed course. Thanks so much!!!

Eagle pp is great yeah!!! Jake become a legend and show us how to make a character turn or how to do those fake 3D things in a rigging context If you do that I'll love you forever 😊

@creativestuff2531 Год назад

To keep the circles at the same position: Ctrl + C = copy click into the layer "Joint Markers" Ctrl + F = copies the circles and pastes them into the layer "Joint markers" while keeping the original position

@SOM_-sy6pv 2 года назад

You talked about artboard size for full body character and how big it should be, what about other assets other than characters, is it better to design all elements in one document or each and every element in different documents? Thanks!

@thepresence2095 2 года назад

Thanks so much Jake, your tutorials are simply priceless, please I'm curious. How do you rigg with duik, illustrator character and retain resolution when you zoom in?

@JakeInMotion 2 года назад

You can't; that's why you have to work at such a high resolution when designing and rigging.

@andrewray6413 2 года назад

@jasonk9770 Год назад

at 19:28 you fix the disproportionate knee joint. I cannot get this to work. Shift, click, drag...always creates a non-uniform circle. Any ideas? It's making me a little nuts.

@sumitragarikipati 5 месяцев назад

@poursaee 2 года назад

Hello Jake, Thank you very much for your useful tutorial. Do you have any longer courses to design characters? For example on Skillshare or School of Motion.

@JakeInMotion 2 года назад

I have a course on Skillshare that covers this process in more depth, but nothing specifically for designing characters. Though there are many classes on Skillshare on that topic.

@maxmagnus777 2 года назад

Nice video. I have a question. I am ok with AI and AE and I am looking for jobs in motion graphics. What should I learn to do in Photoshop in order to aim for these jobs? My guess is that healing brush mastery on pictures of supermodels is not the way to go, still there are skills in PS that I MUST HAVE.

@JakeInMotion 2 года назад

I actually have an entire course at School of Motion called Photoshop and Illustrator Unleashed that teaches exactly what you're looking for.

@sophiemulders Год назад

when you timelapse through the design proces… and you add extras say to the arm ; like the shirt sleeve and linework you put that on the arm layer right? And how do you export that to AE? Sorry is the question will be answered in the last 10 minutes of the video

@JakeInMotion Год назад

Yes, any details go in the layers they belong to. Everything is imported to AE as illustrator art and not converted to shape layers, so the layers are essentially still images.
