In this Tutorial I've got the complete guide to help you start rigging and animating characters in After Effects! Character rigging and animation is a complicated subject that takes a lot of practice to get the hang of, which is why it's so important that you really understand what you're doing before you start. I've created this complete beginner's guide to rigging and animating your first character using Duik Ángela. You're going to learn what kinds of considerations you need to make when designing a character for rigging, how to build a skeleton using Duik's bones system, how to automatically rig the character with Duik's auto-rig feature, the best way to clean up your rigged comp for easy access to only the controls you need, and how to use Duik's auto walk and run cycles feature to animate your character. It's a lot, but it's all here. I promise that once you're done watching this tutorial you'll have a firm grasp on everything you need to rig and animate your own characters in After Effects.
