Great! By the way, you can click the lock button on the top left in effect controls panel, so that it's easier to parent objects in different comps without moving or creating a new panel.
A huge thank you to you, you have just pushed my limits in what I imagined possible with AE and 2D animation! You are just incredible! I have scrupulously observed all the manipulations 4 years after your tutorial, and it still works like hell!! 🤩
So awesome of you to share this! One thing though - before the crash you didn't get to the second thumb joint. I'm sure it's not different from the other joints, but maybe there's a small difference we didn't get to see?
Love the tutorial! Never really knew how to control nested layers inside a composition (with a slider) before… but thanks to you, now I do! 😜 Oh, and After Effects crashes are a pain!🤦♂️
Nice tutorial, I created mine. Luckily, it didn't crack. But I need to explore more on how to move it smoothly. I created a subscribe button with this hand rig. Thanks for your sharing, as a self-taught video editor, it is really useful to me.
Thank you this is very helpful for me to do my current animation project. i have questions, what is the best way to duplicate the hand for other character ? do we need to duplicate all the fingers and hand composition for the other character ? or is it possible to use one hand composition and having multiple controllers for other characters Thank you in advance !

Hi there! thank you so much for this tutorial!! I'm actually looking to animate a hand with nails so have to figure out how to have a front and back of the hand (I want the hand to hold a mic and throw it) is there anywhere I could find a resource for that?? A little overwhelmed, had to ask. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much, But I have a question. it really works well in my Comp layer and preview render, but when I render in MP4 or MOV... It render a picture I didn't even make. And it's like a still image. Is it because it's a crack version? (and I hope you understand me even if I am not good at English.from South Korea)
Hi, Great tutorial. I have a question, I dont have Duik, I have limber. When you put a c.transform controller and you added slider in that. where can I find that in limber? please if you can tell me.
okay i have a Problem... i drawed 3 positions of a thumb, i want him to slide up and down on the phone screen... how do i manage this one? i mean there are 3 png files of one object -> how to make the positions invisable and still have the Animation?
You probably dont care but does anybody know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the account password. I would love any help you can give me!
@Cullen Lawrence thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Hi! I cannot figure out why the palm isn't rotating when I apply the rotation, can you think of something that may be wrong? I could send you my proyect file if you are willing to check it out. Great tutorial though, thanks!
He is using Joysticks and sliders for the rotation but seeming as he only uses the X axis, you can do the rotation on On Duik Bassel. 1a. Create your open right hand as a shape layer. Keyframe the path. 1b. Move on the timeline 20 frames (shift+pgdown to jump 10 at a time) Change your shape path so that it's fully rotated the other way. 1c. Jump back 10 frames, as this will be halfway between the rotation. Add a Keyframe . 2. Create a slider connector in Duik. This will create 2 layers, the Controller (C) and it's background (CBG) 3. On the C | controller, press P to bring up the position in the timeline. Click on the position drop down thing. 4. In your Duik Panel there is a button called 'Select Master Property'. Click this (nothing will happen immediately). 5a. Select your path keyframes on your shape layer. 5b. Click 'Connect to Properties' in your Duik Panel. 6. Moving the position on the controller will now rotate the palm right to left. 7. You can attach the position of the fingers in the same way, keying the far left and far right positions and then connecting to properties.
Okay, but is there some way to consolidate these multiple sliders into a single "master slider", which can interpolate between various combinations of child-slider-values? I'd love to be able to create a series of poses with combinations of sliders, then have one single slider which can move between these poses smoothly.
Are you looking for a way to have a slider for "Point" and for "Fist" and so on? To be honest I'm sure there's a way but I just haven't looked into how that would be done. Sorry I couldn't help, Good luck!
Colourless hey this is a simple fix. Select the layers you want to render then right click on them. This will pull up a whole list of options, find “guide layer” and select it off. This will allow your selected joysticks controls to render. Good luck!
This is a great tutorial but no matter what I do and how many times I try I cannot get the fingers to curl with the slider. The whole finger rotates on the bottom knuckle anchor point, even though the other anchor points are where they should be? Argh. Does anyone know whats going on?
Okay, so I think I've fixed it! Even though the parenting was correct I had to pick whip all of the child knuckles to the slider also. Weird AF but, hey, it seems to be working now (I'm only one finger deep right atm!)
Absolute madness going on in AE 17.1.2. Some had to be parented to the slider, some didn't. It's taken me about an hour to figure out three fingers ahaha. Again, thanks for the great tut! Absolutely nothing wrong with it, AE is just an unstable POS right now.
That's some serious next-level shit you are smoking bro!!! my client needs 3 min animated video in the next 24 hours.. & you are making 10 layers for each figure...

very helpful tutorial! at the moment i can only afford duik but it works well too :D
30:53 My favourite 😅
Can we get project files of your works?
It would be really nice
Thank you so much, But I have a question. it really works well in my Comp layer and preview render, but when I render in MP4 or MOV... It render a picture I didn't even make.

You are awesome, can you please link me to your tutorial of puppet development, which software you use to make a character Ai or Ps?
Hi, Great tutorial. I have a question, I dont have Duik, I have limber. When you put a c.transform controller and you added slider in that. where can I find that in limber? please if you can tell me.
I'm getting expression errors when making the hand rotation joystick. Got any tips?
okay i have a Problem... i drawed 3 positions of a thumb, i want him to slide up and down on the phone screen... how do i manage this one? i mean there are 3 png files of one object -> how to make the positions invisable and still have the Animation?
Love this tutorial! I just have a question. Is it okay to use null object instead of the contoller you made in the Duik Bassel?
Thanks man

Hello, I have a question. When I apply the rotation for all the layers and I rotate, the hand moves out of the center. How do I solve it?
Nvm, I was selecting all the layers by accident. Great tutorial

I'd love to be able to create a series of poses with combinations of sliders, then have one single slider which can move between these poses smoothly.

When I render it the joystick doesn't appear.
Please tell me how to do so
Colourless hey this is a simple fix. Select the layers you want to render then right click on them. This will pull up a whole list of options, find “guide layer” and select it off. This will allow your selected joysticks controls to render. Good luck!

You have no idea how much time and frustration your 2-year-old comment saved me. Thanks so much!
That's some serious next-level shit you are smoking bro!!! my client needs 3 min animated video in the next 24 hours.. & you are making 10 layers for each figure...
Is it just me or is Joystick really sluggish?
I had a character made mixing Duik and Joystick... And it was painfully slow..
hi
hi , i have problem , the palm path don't move when i make joystick ! :(
I'm having the same issue!
hi, i had the same problem and the way i solved it was to download the new version of the plugin.
joystick 1.6 ----- there you have the link
macdownload.org/app/joystick-n-sliders-1-6-6/
x2 I don't know why it doesn't work with the path property, i tried the version 1.5 and 1.6. Please heeelp meee
Thanks!
@@juantrax mine too
@@juantrax vimeo.com/165538528 , I solved my problem using the time remaping hack shown on this video, hope it helps you too.
Such a great Video! just one thing, the audio is killing me.
Thanks for sharing!
you should share the hand's ai file
Or you are just happy about him including it in the tutorial and stop crying. It takes 10 minutes.
