  • Alternate between layers on character rig for frame by frame look

    Posted by Timothy Ballard on June 1, 2016 at 12:30 am

    Hello, I have a character rigged using duik but want to create the frame by frame animation look so am trying to figure out how to switch between one of three similar drawings every 3 frames for each piece of the rig. For example, the head will change to head drawing 2 and then 3 every 3 frames or so.

    I assume I need a slider control for this and then link the different comps together in the rig with duik.
    I am not good with expressions unfortunately, would one of you be able to help me on this one? Thank you!

    If your head is a precomp, you can do whatever animation you want inside the precomp.
