PUPPET ON STRINGS with realistic swinging…
So I have a puppet which I have rigged and is all set to be animated. I have this puppet hanging from strings…2 from the shoulders and 1 string on each hand. I have managed to link everything to move together ok…but I want a realistic follow through swinging effect as I move the puppet from side to side for example…where the legs would dangle and swing, eventually slowing down.
I’ve tried using Duik, and I’ve gone through many expressions I’ve found here but I just can’t get it right. For example the child layers should have “inertia/overshoot” swinging but they are remaining stiff ☹
DAN EBBERTS…If anyone can help me it’s you ☺ Thanks!!!

I’ve used this on a null position which is the other end of the string and is positioned outside of the comp:
L = thisComp.layer(“puppet null”).toWorld([0,0,0]);
[value[0],L[0]+Math.abs(L[0])*.5]+value;

Thanks, but this is not what I am looking for. I need the child layers to dangle loosely and swing with overshoot as the whole puppet moves.

Thanks for the link…there was some useful info, but still now what I need unfortunately.
I need the “body” to swing, and as it swings the top part of the leg dangles from the body, and the bottom part of the leg dangles from the top part of the leg…but with a realistic delay between themselves.
