UdemyThis focused course walks through rigging and animating a character in After Effects using the Puppet Pin Tool, starting from a multi-layer PSD file and ending with a polished, exported animation.
It's a practical, technique-specific course rather than a broad After Effects overview, useful for motion designers or illustrators who already have assets ready and want to bring a static character to life without diving into full rigging software or plugins.
In this course I will take you through the process of rigging and animating a character using the Puppet Pin Tool in After Effects. Throughout the course we will be importing a PSD file, grouping layers, applying pins, and creating a simple animation. More specifically, main topics for this course include:
Overviewing character setup and design
Importing multi-Layer assets in After Effects
Assembling main body parts into compositions
Adjusting Expansion and Density for puppet meshes
Creating multiple meshes
Creating animation with the pins
Polishing animation
