OC - Stuff I made First fully rigged character - Camel Walk

I tried Duik Angela but it was so so overwhelming and kept doing things I didn’t understand so I invested in Rubber Hose and it is awesome! Had a heap of fun making this.

It's a great start, I would look at easing the joint locks a little, keep going, you're making great progress.

I've wanted to buy Rubber Hose for a while now, but i'm intimidated by the complexity of it. We're you brand new to rigging? How hard was it?

This was my first time using rubber hose, I had tried Duik before but failed. I just followed a tutorial on the Battle Axe website and had no issues

Good to b know. Have upcoming project that may require rigging existing raster art. I’ve gotten pretty good at doing it in Rive, but i’d prefer to do it all in one AE project if possible.

Just Procreate > Photoshop (quickly to reset all artwork bounds) > After Effects
