  • AE Puppet Tool Problem

    Posted by Milos Milunovic on February 4, 2015 at 6:51 pm

    Hello and thanks in advance. I hope someone will help.
    I imported one file with layers from illustrator in AE. On one layer I’m working with puppet tools and when I tried to copy pins on the other layer that layer deforms. Both layers need to move simultaneously. something like arm and sleeve of a jacket.
    I switch on continuous rasterization and nothing. Also I’m using Duik – DuDuF for character rigging.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks.

    Could you precompose them and apply the puppet tool to the precomp?

    You do know that the Continuous Rasterization switch breaks the puppet tool effect, right?

    Thanks for replay.
    I forget to mention that I precom the illustrator files an then use the puppet tool on precomp, just like you describe.
    My bad sorry.

    Continuous rasterization is switch on the illustrator layer in precomp, and then I used puppet tools on precomp. Something I forget to mention earlier. Sorry.
    Does it still break the effect?
