Animation and character rigging are essential parts of motion graphics. This class will show you how to automate a walk cycle and build a rig for a simple character. You can upload your work as an animated gif to the internet.
The walk cycle is now easier than ever thanks to the new updates of DUIK (the free character rigging plugin for After Effects). It can also be automated without any keyframes.
