This tool is essential in many cases – to animate a character, especially for a walk, a run; to animate mechanical processes of any kind, etc. – inverse kinematics implied the use of very complex trigonometrical expressions in After Effects (see Dan Ebberts‘s expressions). Duik automates this creation process to allow you to focus on the animation! A simple controller at the end of an arm, of a leg, or on the shoulders, an IK that you created in one clic, now you can animate the entire limb just by modifying the position of the hand or the foot!

Bones are layers which replace puppet pins in After Effects. Created in a single click, they can be parented and be controlled by IK’s. You can reproduce the exact same methods like for the rigging of characters in 3D, but in After Effects. The puppet acts like with skinning, and Duik fills out the setup!
