Wow, that’s the answer of the century ????

Thank you veeery much ! It’s pretty clear, now, and it seems that it would be preferable for me to seriously give a try to CT3 : I have already did some pupetting in AE, so i know it a little, but the pins system never looked intuitive to me. However your answer made me think that I really have to test the “pipeline” between CT3 and AE before taking any decision. My anims will be in 3d compo with lights and some effects, so I want to be sure it will not be a kludge !

If somebody was reading this topic with the idea of animate bitmap still images, I found this very useful tutorial which quickly and clearly explain the process with CT3 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdfU6BVUfiw

The mask system and the possibility to edit “on the fly” the layers you create are really nice.

Thank you again everyone, I will come back to let you know as soon as possible ????

Thanks, it could be very interesting ! I will give the demo a shot, and see if there is enough possibilities and if the learning curve is smaller than with Duik 🙂

Would be fun ! ????

But no, I was thinking to something a bit more “realistic” : like two limbs moving, but that’s not a problem if the rest of the body doesn’t follow (like the shoulders and the chest when arms are moving). I have difficulties with that kind of movements :

The knight, on the right : If I want him to strike, I will have to flip the arm, while not deforming the armor…. You see ? I think I have a lot more of “constraints” than if I was drawing my own characters. Then I don’t know if Duik will be enough for this kind of animations : I don’t want to start learning it, and finally discover that it’s impossible to achieve my goal with this tool…

Thanks for your reply !

So, you tell me that’s the RAM which is the most important thing while working in After Effects ?

If I consider the rendering time is not important (I can let my computer running the whole night for exemple), the first thing I need is more RAM ? Some times, with several 3D layers and some effects, there is some “slow down” when I work in AE : it will be solve with more RAM ?
