  • Do most AE animators continuously rasterize?

    Posted by John Davis on January 16, 2016 at 5:25 am

    I’ve been watching a lot of tutorials where animators use the puppet pin tool to bend their characters. This doesn’t work if you turn on continuously rasterize, so I haven’t seen anyone use that setting. Is this good practice, or are there better ways to bend an image that will allow you to continuously rasterize vectors?

    I’ve got a 2d character who is looking up. Her head rotates upward, and I’ve got her hair parented to her head. I would like to be able to jiggle her hair a little bit with the puppet pin tool, but the only way I’m able to is if I keep ‘continuously rasterize “off, even though there isn’t anything else applied to the hair layer.

    Yep. It’s just a layer parented to the head, with only the puppet pin effect. No transformations, and no camera effects are used either. Works fine until I turn on ‘continuously rasterize’.

    Ok, thank you. Sorry for the confusion, still getting the hang of AE.
