  • How to animate universal Man symbol?

    Posted by Mike Mackenzie on December 9, 2013 at 3:53 pm

    Hey everyone…

    Just looking for references/resources for animating the universal Man symbol (such as on rest room door, etc) in After Effects. I am familiar with the basic process, (build as layered segments in AI, use the Puppet Tool, etc) but I’m just looking for any tutorials, tips or tricks to bring it up to that next level.
    Thanks!

    Duick tools – inverse kinematics that can be applied to puppet tool points, and best of all free!
