Rigging With Rubberhose | How To Animate 

Yes. It looks like a Rick and Morty character. Rick and Morty is awesome. Who doesn't want to learn how to animate like Rick and Morty in After Effects?

If you're ever worried about the length of a video like this, don't be. I appreciate videos like these more than those that skip over things that in their opinion might seem irrelevant. I'm glad I found this video, keep up the good work!

you could say that this is some quality RIGG AND MORTY

REALLLLLLLY APPRECIATE THIS. You're the only person that went from beginning to end simply.

So when are you making an Adultswim series?

People really need to share ross' channel more. Ton of people frkn paying buttload of money to jag offs who think they're frkn experts in animation. -_-

Thanks, i really appreciating this. Because you didn't rushed like other RU-vidrs. You teached me with patience

Fantastic tutorial! :) Quick note: You don't have to create an expression before pickwhipping one attribute to another. No need to alt-click - you can just pickwhip :) Thank you for the great content. :)

Hey Ross, I've been subscribed to your channel for a while, one of my art teachers accidentally played you Dinosaurs in Space series in class and couldn't figure out how to turn it off it was pretty hilarious

wow i never thought i could watch a 31 minute video on youtube but it just happened I like how you took your time and explained the methods. You just earned a subscriber

I thank the animation gods for stumbling upon your brilliant channel.

Thank you very much. You're one of those people who will change my life in a major skill set that will save alot of time thank you👍

ross plaskow i swear am glad with your tutorial i love u bro

Hello Russ ! I enjoy your tutorials with your sense oF humor.

good god i love your channel. thank you so much for these gems of animation information. also i am hoping to see some more of your work with meats soon!

Been wondering what Ross looked like for a while now, and now I know he's a direct descendant of the Beastie Boys!

That's a wonderful tutorial. You're a great teacher with a good sense of humor! Congratulations!!!!

Thank you so much for these, Ross! Just started working on character animation and these tutorials have been so helpful! Looking forward to your next one!

nice video! such a valuable rigging technique for rubber hose! thank you for making these!

extremely helpful video Ross ! but u can show the key presses on bottom left corner of the video, so that its easy to figure out the shortcuts, just a suggestion

You da man Ross! Excellent job.

another great vid from Ross

Best after effects channel on RU-vid. Keep uploading bro! I really like the rubberhose tutorials can you do more of those?

I just discovered your videos and you are amazinggg

18:51 "So there's a little bit of a f*ck up" had me dying of laughter haha.

also, since you like it ordred so much why not make a slider for the color in a null object and parent the colors to the same place (pants color' skin color shirt color etc)

Thank you! I found this really helpful since I recently got the creative cloud and was looking for a guide like this one which could help me rig a character^ ^

"There's a little bit of a fuck up" ...I'm dead hahahahahah

Wubba Lubba Dubb Dubb! You should get hired by Adult Swim

1000% love these videos

Looks like a character from rick and morty. Love your sense of humor BTW

Omg~ Best weekend ever!

This is awesome but now I have a full character ready to animate and you tell me I need a plug-in afterwards.. I appreciate the work though a lot. Now I'll look up someone else to teach the rest

Do a video on character design I like the way you design your characters

Thank you Brother excellent tutorial!!!!!

@24:35 BRILLIANT!!! Thx for a great tut!!

Wow!! Thank you so much for this tutorial.

Welcome back!

Thank you Ross

Love u Ross

thank you so much but can you tell me why didn't you use rubberhose for the arms??

What's the advantage of creating your characters in After Effects over Illustrator? Thanks.

Your videos are always so great !!! Always delivering amazing contents plus you are so funny !! Love your Characters Thank you !!!!

Hell yeah, ur way too good to only have 90k subs

ROSS I love you

That is so awesome! THANK YOU

thanks man! reaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAalLLLLLLLLY AWESOMEEEEE!

ROOOOOOOSSSS

For a sec I thought you were gonna rig the pencil sketch as is, and make him move as pencil drawing. That would of been lit, on some-"How the fuck did he do that?"- type shit.

Using this method, how do you make a character move his head to the side? Or move his whole body to a different direction? Would it be the same thing you did with the mouth, or what?

Thank You. Amazing Tutorial

love ur work! thank you Ross, u r the best

great content! a question tho, why didn't you apply rubber rig to the arms also just like with what you did to the legs? Is it easier to animate that way without the additional arm controllers?

I thought you were a rick and morty animator for a sec haha

Great stuff. Do you have or can you point me to some tutorial on how to make rig with rotatable head and body. Basic angles. Or there is no big deal and I just should have different rigs for different angles?

can you plz tell me how to use one character to done multiple tasks in a composition for example stop a walking cycle of character and do some other action .any action like sitting hand shaking .i stuck in this problem since one month and searching a lot but could not find any solution.if you will do this for me it should be your kindness and a i will remember your this great help in my animation journey .plz if you have no video on this can you plz make a video .i have learn a lot from this video

its amazing that you can animate in after effects bruh

Can you scale legs once they've been rubberhosed? I'm trying to parent everthing to a null so I can scale my whole character and my legs don't seem to want to do that?

thank you!

Hi Ross, can you make a video about head turn? Thanks

OMG!!! wow!!!! thank you!!!

Cool!! Thank you for nice tutorial and congratulations 100K subscribers :)

It's in time like this that I really value the youtube x2 speed function

thank you very much good sir

You should review Adobe Character Animator

omg i love you!

Am I right in thinking that Character Animator will do the same things as Rubberhose? It would save me an extra purchase if it does. Thanks for the incredible video.

Hi Ross!

awsome video

Yes. It looks like a Rick and Morty Character. Rick and Morty is awesome. Who doesn't want to learn how to animate like Rick And Morty in after effcts? ya i want

Thanks a lot, this helped me a lot :__)

you're awesome

Dude this looks like a rick and morty character

So did I miss something? Y is this guy drawing in ae?!

Would you say that in After Effects Rubberhose is your primary rigging tool? I find myself time and time again migrating back to DUIK over others.

How do I change the bend direction of the leg? RubberHose keeps making the rig bend in the wrong direction. Great vid, btw (:

what i dont understand is if you want as few layers as possible why give him trousers?

When I parent the rigged ankle to the foot it morphs the shape of the leg. I followed everything exactly as you did here. It's skewing the image after parenting. Whats up with that?

Hey nice video, but i have a question... why did you use rubberhose and not Duik?

Do you prefer animating characters by hand or using rigs? Spotted in an earlier video you said you always do them by hand.

Ok, but maybe without all that drawing in After. You can use Illustrator file(s) for that.

imagine all how-to videos being this helpful 👌🏾 liked 👍🏾

Why ru doing it in after affects and not Adobe animate ?

so how do i erase something if i make a mistake ... like the leg parts i forgot to leave the top open so the strokes dont overlap how can i erase the top part ?

Can you animate this but using a pencil instead? Like you would in illustrator or photoshop.

I have problems with the very basic function: bending the thigh and the lower leg (or bending the knee, sorry?). WHAT hast to be parented to WHAT is my question? (I use 2 PS-Layers as artwork for the legparts) When I move the ankle-controller, only the lower leg is moving (same with the arms). Watched 20+ tuts but everyone is explaining the special features (which are cool) but not the basics. Help? Anyone? thanks! (using rh 1.0)

Head turns... Head turns would be a useful tutorial

Is Rubberhose essential to be able to rig? Or can I follow this tutorial without it?

Can you use rubberrig with an arm and hand? Whenever i use it, my pieces get warped and screwed up by the plugin.

Why use Adobe After Effects when there is Adobe Animate CC?

Thank you!!!!

Where would you import this later to actually start working on the animations??

Thank you

once it is rigged it can be animated easier for AfterEffects?

Question Does the program cost money? I really want to animate like you do,and this video has been absolutely perfect :)

can i do all of this steps in photoshop and get character as a photoshop file ? please replay it will be so easier for me

I love this. Gonna rig the fuck out of some characters. Still waiting for meat mysteries. Hopefully soon

Why don’t u use illustrator to create the character?

Can this be done in Adobe Animate too? Do you have any tutorials on that as well?

Why do these look like rick and morty characters
