Limb IK (Inverse Kinematics) is a behavior you can add to any Character Animator puppet to get more control over their arms and legs. We'll start this tutorial by showing how to rig the arms to prevent stretching and get realistic elbow bends. Then we'll move on the legs and show how to make characters squat, bend, jump, and more. Finally we'll finish with some recording tips, including building a library of replays to create a ready-to-move character at the press of a button. You can download all the puppets shown here for free on okaysamurai.com/puppets.

Just finished a course on Lynda about creating and animating a character in AE. Wanted to learn the tougher, manual way first, and I can confirm doing a whole cartoon the old fashion way is hell. So glad Character Animator exists to streamline the heck out of the whole process. Can't wait to start some of your tutorials.

@okaysamurai 3 года назад

For Limb IK we recommend not adding fixed handles (at least, on non-independent parts) as those can create pulling/pinching effects on those parts. I don't believe any of the example puppets shown here have any fixed handles. If you absolutely have to have one, try making that part independent so it won't affect the rest of the puppet.

I've had that issue in the past and it took me a while to realize it was the anchor point. Click on the puppet name to see if the anchor is located in that area. Sometimes it needs to be maneuvered around until you find a sweet spot or it makes the puppet looks like it's pinned to a particular spot.

However, when playing back the scene, the weapon would point downward and shoot fire downward. I turned off Auto Arm Bend, and this seems to have fixed the issue. Thanks!

This is awesome!!! Huge update. I love your videos Okay Samurai! I also have a question, with the jumping character with the baseball cap, he had a traditional animation feel because his layers were looping! How can I do that that's one of the things i've been missing about character animator!!!

@okaysamurai 3 года назад

Yeah, so if you look in Rig mode, for most of his parts I have them as groups with two layers inside and a Cycle Layers behavior added to the group. So basically I just drew every layer twice and the behavior cycles between the two states. It makes for a cool effect for sure!

@malcolmr8348 Месяц назад

Just some product design feedback on the elbow bend behaviour, it would be nice to have auto hand swap when, the elbow bends past 180 degrees into the other direction, when your arm is bent outwards you're likely to see the open hand side of a hand, however if the arm bends inwards so the hand moves towards the torso, it is likely to display the back of the hand. This could then be set so, that any hand set you have you can have a front and back hand for each hand design so whenever a specific hand design is toggled and the hands are being moved around, the hand also faces the expected direction. this change is likely to occur at the elbo change point, and could be a trigger setting below auto arm bend.

@okaysamurai 3 года назад

Thanks! Open up LimbIKBot from the LimbIK pack on okaysamurai.com/puppets - if you just drag his neck down and to the right he seems to "sit" on something. I would take a screenshot of a character in this position, bring it into Photoshop, and draw the bench with that relative height so it looks good with him on it.

@UnMicroshow 2 года назад

but what should I do if I have my head turns (Frontal, left & riht quarters) inside of the head group. would it be ok to have two frontal groups?

@okaysamurai 2 года назад

This should be possible, but you may need to play with behavior placement to make sure the head turner is picking up the correct views (same issue when adding head turner + a walking 3-view character). If you get stuck, please upload a screenshot, video, or your File > Export > Puppet file to the official forums at adobe.com/go/chfeedback so we can take a closer look.

Hey How can I bend my chrctr torso while he is sitting because it looks weird that legs are bending and of chrctr but the torso is straight so any tip on this?

@okaysamurai 3 года назад

If they're sitting maybe don't use the double head rigging treatment I show here for the Yoga character - you'll get more body movement if you rig it more like a traditional character.

@MaxLineExoticBullsK9 2 года назад

Can you have one of these limb ik set ups with frontal and independent head....2 head rig with head turner behaviours +frontal+side profiles+quarter profiles ...also draggable?

@okaysamurai 2 года назад

Maybe...? A lot of this can still feel experimental when you get into the hacks of adding extra heads. I would try it with a simple stick figure rig and see if you can get it to work. If the problem persists, please upload a screenshot, video, or your File > Export > Puppet file to the official forums at adobe.com/go/chfeedback so we can take a closer look.

@rasdakai 11 месяцев назад

Hi. Some time ago I had a character created for me since I can't draw BUT I didn't realize that the arm goes behind the head when I need it in front of the head or at least the hand to the elbow. Any advice or video for that one? It's set up where the left arm in part of the body so I can't move it alone without making the whole body in front of the head

@okaysamurai 11 месяцев назад

Yep, check out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7pgm_u4VkQk.htmlsi=YxqvbMrSVS8PweSy&t=287

@snap-n-shoot 3 года назад

I moved the characters right arm from rest pose to a wave pose. I created a 2 frame take and then dragged that take to be 1 second long, i added easing and created a replay trigger. It worked perfectly. I then did exactly the same thing for the left arm, but when I play the replay, the arm flips in the wrong direction before getting to the wave pose. No matter what I try it will not do what the right arm does even though they are rigged exactly the same. Any suggestions?

@okaysamurai 3 года назад

Hmmm, hard to diagnose here but if anything was recorded for the left arm, even as part of the right arm replay, then it will compete with any additional movements, leading to weird results. It could also be a bug. If it persists, please post a screenshot, video, or File > Export > Puppet (.puppet file) to adobe.com/go/chfeedback for more help.

@RuthYamin 3 года назад

Hi , can you show us how to convert the puppet from photoshop back (or correctly save) to CH ? I’d make an edit, but it when i save an entirely new puppet (that i don’t know how to rig) is created. It doesn’t even read the face anymore and saves as “.psp”

@okaysamurai 3 года назад

Hmmm, I've never seen a psp file before - not sure what that is. I cover this in the beginning of ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7GKCw4f1UrI.html - if you edit a PSD or AI file coming from CH (either clicking the icon in the project panel or going to Edit > Edit Original), you will open up the linked file, and if you save, the CH character will automatically update.

Hey Dave I did the exact thing you did with the frontal and the head (crowned) but I have a right quarter as well and when I turn the character disappear from the scene how can I fix this?

@okaysamurai 3 года назад

It sounds like CH is trying to swap between the front and quarter views but not all the artwork is under the right quarter tag so it isn't coming along for the ride. I have not seen the system I'm showing here work with head turner personally, but if anyone knows how to do it, it would be the Digital Puppets UK guys - check them out, I think they do this technique with head turns as well.

@rawsomeism 2 года назад

Hello :), I have a question for the hands. When I put them on the hips like your first character in the video, they stay on her hip when she moves her torso to the left and right. At my character the hands don’t stay on the same spot on the hips when the rest of the body moves they kind of hover to right and left with the torso. Did you tweak that afterwards or are thy stuck to the hip with a magnet or so? Thanks for your awesome Videos

@okaysamurai 2 года назад

Hmmm, the only reasons I can think of this happening are a) Limb IK > Pin has different settings for the wrists instead of the defaults of puppet / 100%, or b) the arms are rigged differently and are creating a floating issue. If the problem persists, please upload a screenshot, video, or your File > Export > Puppet file to the official forums at adobe.com/go/chfeedback so we can take a closer look.

Great video! These updates are so cool. Was just messing with the limb ik. For some reason, after tagging the shoulders and hips my character's limbs float off the body when walking? Any advice or quick tips where to look? Thanks!

@okaysamurai 3 года назад

I would either do Limb IK or Walking - not both, at least on the non-frontal views. This is because walking wants a lot of the same tags as Limb IK, so they'll fight with each other.

Hello, need a bit of help please, I created a toon version of myself and want to animate it. When im done with the rigging of the arms, when I try them idk why they´re still strechable and my elbows still bend in akward ways. I have added the sticks/bones and tagged the handles correctly according to each arm (each one has the crown so I know they're independent) and added the limb ik behavior. I still dont know what im doing wrong or different.

@okaysamurai 3 года назад

If you're still seeing the stretching, it means Limb IK can't find the tagged handles. You can try adding the Limb IK behavior to different parts instead of the top level, like the Body group, to see if that helps.

@purplestorkmedia9089 3 года назад

Love the video! Small Issue: When I add a Left Quarter I run into bugs that look like artwork is out of place when I drag body, however, after diagnosing my rig works great without the leftquarter/swap set. Given the tip of making the head independent and add a frontal with a Face Dragger, should I not be doing the same for Left Quarter and having both in a swapset? Thanks!

@okaysamurai 3 года назад

Good question - I haven't tried Limb IK with any additional views. My best guess is that when you add that extra view, CH can't quite figure out how to deal with that and the Frontal view - Frontal here is kinda being used as a bit of a hack so it's an outlier. If this is just for faces, I might put all my head positions inside the Head group, and I also might experiment with not tagging views and just using swapsets. But I'm not really sure what to do other than keep experimenting and see if you can find something that works.

Can't figure out what's the problem. And the head floats a bit as well. Frustrated because I've watched this video over and over and can't find the disconnect.

@okaysamurai 3 года назад

Hard to diagnose here, but my best guess might be that something in the Body/torso might be independent or the arm origins aren't lined up with the body, causing it not to attach?

These are great tutorials! I'm having a problem where I've place dragable points on the hands but they're still sort of frozen in place. I'm thinking is this because I had it auto-sync to pre-recorded audio? I have my puppet rigged and selected but when I play the scene, she's just frozen in place.

@okaysamurai 2 года назад

For characters like these it's probably because they have a default replay that is locking their hands into a certain prerecorded position. Look at their triggers and try unselecting the defaults in their "poses" group or wherever (turn off the lit up finger icon) - and you should regain control!

How do you define the ground plane? I seem to be able to drag the Yoga June character by the body up and down and the feet won't go down past a certain line near the bottom of the screen. Instead the rest of the body comes down, giving the illusion of a ground plane. I can't seem to recreate this with my own character.

The ground is wherever the feet start out. So position your character using the Transform behavior, and that will be where things start.

@renatus123 3 года назад

omg, I want to try and add this head rotation thing, but I know that if you add a top level layer you loose ALL the rigging from every level below it. So if I add this extra "frontal' group at the top now, I'll loose like at least 100 'cycle layers' that I have in my puppet already... is there any way to save all my rigging somehow and add a top level layer to the image document? I have full head turns and multiple frames on every phoneme, so rigging all of it takes forever. Any ideas? I keep running into this when adjusting my AI document.

@okaysamurai 3 года назад

Hmmmm. Unfortunately I'm not sure there's an easy solution here. There are ways to select groups/layers in CH and go to Edit > Copy Behaviors or Paste Behaviors, so theoretically you might be able to copy and paste your relevant behaviors from the older character to the newer one.

Hi thanks for the amazing tutorials. Howerver i don't see what i'm doing wrong but my character have his legs floating follwing the head movement. I've seen you can pinpoint the feet. But it seems not to work with limb ik. (also i've seen a comment where you say it is not recomended to add pins on limb ik characters). I might have to also precise that my character has sides views too for the walk behaviours. i don't know if it might interfere with the behaviour of the frontal view where my problem is.

@okaysamurai 2 года назад

For walking characters I recommend not putting LimbIK at the top/root level of the puppet, but instead add the behavior directly on your frontal/standing group. That way it will bypass the walk views and only work for the single stationary view.

I don't get yellow outline instead I get square around each leg or so? Is this the normal 2021 update?

@okaysamurai 3 года назад

Make sure the "show mesh outline" toggle is on in the bottom left corner of the Rig puppet panel. Yellow means what parts are connected together in a mesh. It doesn't always show up for every layer though, depending on your setup.

Great Video, why when editing the original Psd or AI file by adding new profiles (right or left) the rigging on the already done profile disappears and you have to start from zero again?!

@okaysamurai 3 года назад

If you drastically change the structure of the PSD or AI file, like adding a new group or changing the hierarchy, CH can't keep up with where the existing artwork is anymore and can lose rigging from the shifting artwork. So we recommend saving any heavy duty rigging until you're 100% happy with your general PSD or AI folder/group structure.

You are amazing! This program is amazing! I just have one question. I seem to have lost the tracking movement of my character. Webcam is on (mic is on). And I can tell when I love I get a sliiiight (barely noticeable) bit of movement. But somewhere in my rigging I lost the free-flowing movement I had (which was close to the original, stock head/body movement). Any suggestions? not sure what I changed. I’m fairly deep into my character so I know it’s something I tweaked maybe on accident. Thank you!!! As a VO Artist/Actor and Writer, this program is a GODSEND. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

@okaysamurai 3 года назад

Awesome, glad you're enjoying it. If you're not seeing movement it's usually because the head got untagged, the face behavior is turned off, and/or the character in the timeline doesn't have a red dot next to them. Hard to diagnose in RU-vid comments for sure, but for more direct help, please post a screenshot, video, or File > Export > Puppet (.puppet file) to adobe.com/go/chfeedback.

Hello, I do not have the option for Limb IK in my Character Animator program. Can you tell me which version you are using, or maybe where to find it outside of behaviours maybe?

@okaysamurai 3 года назад

You most likely have an older version. I'm using version 4.0.

@okaysamurai 2 года назад

A second dragger behavior lets you do this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XolxHNixBpA.html

When adding frontal layer to my characters with back hair which is placed below the body when layered, this poses an issue. I'm still trying to figure it out. Loving the new features.

@Dramadonia 3 года назад

Aaaaaaaaaahh. I think it's because I made the head independent. Hhhhmmm,now to find a fix.

@okaysamurai 3 года назад

Yeah, usually you can do something like Chloe from the home screen where you have a back hair group that has the same dependence as the Head, so they move together. But that's trickier here where the head is independent. I'm sure there's a way, but it might take some trial and error. Worst case scenario, get rid of the Frontal and just do the traditional Head/Body - you'll get the weird hip bends but at least you can do what you want with the hair. Hopefully we can make this easier in the future.

@Dramadonia 3 года назад

@@okaysamurai I realized I wasn't going to work out anytime soon so I removed it from the puppets with back hair since I always make the hair independent. They are still looking amazing.

@geosaou4850 3 года назад

This is all really cool! Question, with the new technique for the head movement is there any way to incorporate head turner, or is it only for one view?

@okaysamurai 3 года назад

Head turner could definitely be applied to this as well!

@geosaou4850 3 года назад

@@okaysamurai would you have to create sub folders for each head turn and then apply the same techniques?

@okaysamurai 3 года назад

I haven't done it myself, but I believe you would add the subfolders inside your Head group. So it would be like +Character > Frontal > +Head > +Right Profile and so on inside that Head group. I would make sure you put the Head Turner behavior on the +Head group so it doesn't try to grab the Frontal view above as well. I think that should work at least!
