Looking forward to it man. Your tutorials are amazing
Nice work. I am so grateful for this video. Kindly keep making more content like this. Please.
that is so informative!
i enjoy your videos very much and wait for them weekly!
Oh, man. Toe fingers animation is so satisfying
Mind blowing ! Happy to find your channel and I believe there is much to learn from you ! Thanks !
So nice of you
This is what I subscribed for❤️🔥🔥
LFG!!!!
Great stuff!
Great vid!
Great Video! can you do a video on how you added those textures and shadows?
Thanks for sharing
amazing
Grayscale to color is a smart way to work. Value > Hue for humans
Have you looked into Bendio at all? It's by the same folks behind Limber. I think it'd be really helpful for things like hands-the Bendio plugin trailer even has a hand example in it.
My man upgrading his studio😍...
Christmas baby!
so nice, i'm used to duik for limbs, but i may try using limber
DUik is great, Limber is better :) (IMO)
Thanks for sharing, really interesting! How’d you get on with Tilda, would you recommend?
Great video, how did you do the shadow for the character?
Good question. Duplicate the composition, CC Slant effect, fill effect for color, then cropped it for the back wall.
Amazing! I'm new to Ae and I'd like to know how many hrs it takes to create this illustration+animation? 😅
This video is super great. I want to ask you something, do you think do we need to have drawing skills for these kind of videos? I mean I can't draw my own character, so I subscribed a platform to download&use characters etc. Do you think I should learn how to draw the character on Illustrator? Thanks!
Personally, I think being able to illustrate your own characters would be a big plus, as it gives you a lot of control and flexibility over the animation process, especially when you have to make minor tweaks and illustrations in after effects.
GURU 🙏
how do big companies come up with the backgrounds for the animated shows
Why do you work separately by pre-composing only your face when you do character animation?
How do you Make the path of the outline shirt follow the path of the shirt fill? Since they are diffierent path
Duplicate layer, alt+click in the stopwatch of the path, then you can link one path in other
Hi, how can i get the take_shape tab which has merge path , modifiers that's shown on your right side, can you provide me with the link to that plugin
Not available sorry.
sir I just want to know how much time it take to make this video
Where can I find this Batch Color Replacer?
It comes with Mobar. I've left a link to mobar in the description
so u always have to re-draw your character... is there a plugin that makes your rig a character directly from your illustrator layers? PLS
No, you don't have to redraw your characters everytime.
I want to buy LIMBER but I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO INSTALL IT.
I posted this previously. Could you please release a video on how to install LIMBER into AFTER EFFECTS 2023. I am using a WINDOWS 10 DELL PC to run AFTER EFFECTS 2023 included in my CREATIVE CLOUD subscription. I am still learning After Effects and yes I do subscribe to your channel. I am considering using the link you provided in an earlier video to purchase the LIMBER plug in. I have no idea how to install it. There is only one dodgy video with no narration that exists here on UA-cam. The website for LIMBER does NOT have instructions. THANKS
Hi,
When you purchase Limber it comes with instructions on how to install it.
It is similar to installing other scripts for After Effects. You simply copy the 'Limber.jsxbin' file into the scriptsUI folder in your After Effects directory. Hope this helps. Thanks!
May I know your PC specification?

Let's say I have *ten characters* that involve *four different views* each. I'm looking at 40 different characters total. At 30 layers per character, that's *1200 layers* floating on my main composition's timeline! ... If I pre-compose each character, the layer count gets knocked down to 40, but then I'm forced to animate them "in the dark" because I can't see what's happening on the main comp's timeline while editing them. ...... Suggestions?
Use DUIK's extraction feature, where you can extract controllers from a pre-comp. If you own rubberhose, it has a similar tool.
@@TheKeyframeAcademy Thanks for the speedy reply. I'm using Limber due to my version of After Effects being lesser than version 2021. I'll research what you've mentioned, though.
@@0-by-1_Publishing_LLC I go over the feature in this video: ua-cam.com/video/NqQhEzSXFhs/v-deo.html
You can use DUIK's extract controllers feature with Limber, you just have to label the control layers as controllers so DUIK know what to extract.
Also, Rubberhose 3 claims to be compatible with Limber, but I haven't tested it out to see if anything breaks.
GAAAAAH! Ok, ok, okaaaaay! I get it....DUIK = bad; Limber = good. And now I get to dive into a deep cavern of "I don't know what the %@#$ I'm doing here!"
I do have a course that just opened enrollment that will get you going! Much better alternative than searching the bottomless pit of UA-cam for the right tutorials. Link is in the description!
Keyframe Academy: I will help you with Animating characters, and make it fun...
Also Keyframe Academy: I HATEEE ANIMAATINGG HANDS!!
Haha I hate it because I am not good at it, but it must be done! But I know I can become better with practice. That is the message I am trying to convey with this video.
@@TheKeyframeAcademy Haha, You are great by the way, learned a lot from you,
Anyway, I have been struggling with one thing in limber, I make Whiteboard Animations (and plan to make my characters to come to life after being drawn) and I have a character with stroke and white fill only, and sometimes, the strokes don't line up perfectly and it creates a very weird effect...Can you do one tutorial on whiteboard characters?
Just create any character with white fill and black strokes, that will be a lot of help, been struggling a lot with this...
Thanks
