- Designing and rigging an entire character might be a lot of work, but nothing engages viewers better.
Although After Effects has evolved a lot over the years, especially when it comes to serious character animation, it's still got some ground to cover compared to other industry tools.
But it hasn't stopped motion designers who excel at bringing animated characters to life.
I have compiled a list of plugins and tools I use to rig a character.
I hope you'll find this useful.
PS: No need to rig the whole character every time. Rigging depends on how much your character is moving in storyboard. Keeping it minimal helps your PC live longer.

Thanks for sharing. I use DUIK for the entire rig.
Yeah, duik is getting better and better. Maybe we won’t need so many plugins one day.
I love this! These are some great tips. Thank you!

Interesting dude thanks!

How would you bend character in front? suppose a golf hitting pose.. golfer is standing and then bending to hit the ball, how will you rig that from front angle?
I use Limber and for lips animation - charector animator soft ( auto lip sync ) sometime use deekey tool
I have heard good things about limber.
How is Deekey tool for lip sync??
@@catofilm2823 no no. Lip sync only adobe charector animator and deekey tool for quick animation
Thanks incredibly helpful ❤
Is there a way to combine these different things to eventually make a full body control rig?
Sadly, there is no magic button.
But once you know how to use these plugins, you can easily combine them together to get fabulous results.
Here is an example of a character I did using all these hacks: SureSquad - Final cut

i use bao bones this is fast and full control.
I have heard that it is super easy and quick to use, but never used it personally.
Should we animate with graphic tablet insted of display tablets or its hard
I personally use tablet only for designing. For animation mouse is my preferred option.
And for designing I use Wacom tablet, but I am sure the display tablet would be much better. Although I never faced any problem with my touch only tablet.

I am glad that you like the video.
I currently don’t have any detailed tutorials on these subjects, but you can find some really good videos using simple CZcams search.
Let me know if you need any further help.
is that plugin free? how can we find them ?
Duik plug-in is free. Rest are paid. Adobe animate comes along with creative cloud suite.
You can download duik from this link- rxlaboratory.org/download-duik-angela/
Sir yh plugin free hai ki paid hai
Duik plug-in is free, but the rest are paid. But they are totally worth the price.
How would you bend character in front? suppose a golf hitting pose.. golfer is standing and then bending to hit the ball, how will you rig that from front angle?
Although it can be rigged, i won’t recommend including all the movements and perspectives into one single rig.
That would not only make rig heavy, but also it might compromise the accuracy of regular movements.
What we can do is, make one rig for most common movements, and another for occasional movements, and switch in between the two.
And for movements which are very rare, like a “flying 360 degree turn kick”, go frame by frame.
