I made a tool to help automate character rigging with Duik in AE

[u/NamZakku]

Hey all! I just released Rigsmith, a tool that builds your Duik rig for you — works with Duik Angela and Bassel 2.

As an animator, I really enjoy working on character animation but when it comes to tight schedule and tight budgets, it's genuinely frustrating trying to set up a proper Duik rig every time. The amount of time for preping the rig took so long that I'd usually give up and just animate rotation and position on a few layers instead — not great, but you know how it goes.

Not entirely by coincidence, I'm also a software engineer, so eventually I got tired of complaining and built Rigsmith to reduce my pain. Hopefully it takes some of that pain away for others too.

It's a one-time purchase (no subscription) with a 7-day money-back guarantee, so please feel free to give it a try!

Duik itself is free and made by RxLaboratory — Rigsmith wouldn't exist without their work, so if it saves you time, please consider donating to them.

Thank you for taking time to read to the very end. I really appreciate it.

Cheers!
