Morgan Williams (00:11): Hey everyone, Morgan, from school of motion here, I wanted to do a compare and contrast between two very popular character rigging tools that are available rubber hose and do quick. Bassel now in this video, I'm not going to do really any how to lessons in how to use rubber hose or do it facile. I'm going to focus more on their different strengths and weaknesses and why you might want to choose one over the other, or possibly a combination of the two when you're rigging characters. If you want to learn how to use rubber hose and do it Bassel I recommend first checking out the links we've provided to battle axes tutorials on rubber hose. One of the great things about rubber hose is it's very easy to learn and use, and those tutorials will give you a really good start on the basics. Now do it Bassel is much more complicated and there's a lot more to it.
Morgan Williams (01:10): You can get started with my free tutorial on doing a basic Dwek rig, but my rigging academy course at school of motion will give you a much more complete and comprehensive look at how to rig characters in aftereffects with Dick Bassel. Now the simple truth is these are both great tools, and if you do a lot of character rigging, you really should have both of them as part of your toolkit. But before we dive into some specifics, let's just talk about some kind of big overarching differences between the two. Now, one of the real big advantages to rubber hose is that it's incredibly simple. It's very quick to learn. It's very quick to use, and it does what it does extremely well. Now on the flip side of that, it's simplicity comes with the cost of it being fairly limited. It does what it does very, very well, but it doesn't do a whole lot else than what it does now do it facile on the other hand is a much more robust and comprehensive tool overall.
Morgan Williams (02:19): It does a lot of different things, both to aid with character rigging and animation, but it'll also help with all kinds of situations in after effects beyond just character work. It allows you to create many, many different types of rigs, very complex rigs, as well as simple rigs, and is in many ways a kind of one-stop shop for character rigging and after effects. Now all of that comes with the cost of it being more complex. It's in many ways, surprisingly easy to learn and use kind of on the surface level, however, but it has a lot of depth to it. So the learning curve is a little higher and it's a little more time consuming, especially when you're creating more complicated rigs. But again, what you lose in simplicity, you gain in ability when it comes to do it, Bassel now do it is also free, which is a pretty wonderful advantage right there, especially for such a powerful and robust tool, but rubber hoses cost is really extremely reasonable.
Morgan Williams (03:27): And in my opinion, absolutely worth it for such a well-designed and handy tool. So let's dive in and look kind of specifically at the differences and pros and cons of these two really great tools. I want to start by focusing on the thing that rubber hose really does better than any other tool out there. And it's really the thing that I think makes rubber hose really worth the cost because it's a thing that do it Bassel for all of its wonders and there are many really just can't do as well or can't do as well as simply let's say. And that is creating soft, smooth bands with vector artwork at this particular task. There's really nothing out there that can touch rubber hose. So let's take a look at what we mean. We have a rubber hose rig set up for this arm here, and I'm just going to grab the little hand controller and you can see that as we bend this vector arm, we get this beautiful, clean, smooth band.
