Join Owen Lowery for an in-depth discussion in this video Automation on character rig: Solution, part of After Effects Duik: Rigging & Animation Tools.
- [Instructor] Well I hope you rocked…the automation challenge, and made your character…go dance, dance, dance crazy.…But now I'll take a swing at making this little guy dance…using the Duik Automation Toolbox,…and not a single key frame here in 0902…Automation on a Character Solution.…Alright so, I'm just gonna start…by goin down to the pelvis.…Let's take a look, I'm gonna zoom in just a little more.…Do I want the larger pelvis or, nope, nope.…I'm gonna go with C_C pelvis.…Yeah, yeah, I think I'm gonna add…a little bit of wiggle to that pelvis.…
I'm gonna hit P for Position, select my position key frame.…I'm gonna go up to the Wiggle automation.…I'll make sure to do All Dimensions, and click Wiggle.…I'm gonna open up the Effect down here,…double click on Position Wiggle to bring it up here,…and I'm gonna make the Amplitude really high, maybe not 100,…but something like 40, and the Frequency…something like half a second.…Let's Preview this.…Here we go.…
Seems like it's gonna be just a little bit slow.…Yeah, a lot bit slow.…
