This series is in 5 parts (9 installments) which run a little over four hours.
Download the Angie files
This 2.3 MB zip file contains all the project files for the After Effects Series 2 rigging tutorials (links to Vimeo below). This file package contains the Angie 1.5.1, which is a Photoshop file and is not meant for the Controllers & Expressions Series.
The series covers character rigging using some of the same techniques in the The Duik Series, including the use of Duik to speed up the rigging process and add inverse kinematics
All of this is accomplished without the use of third party plugins, except, of course, for the free rigging script Duik. This tutorial series was created for Duik 15 or earlier.
