    Hi Daniel,
    briliant stuff! THX sir!
    While rigging with the duik tools at some point your pants started to disappear/acting weird when you animated the legs. Why was that and how did you resolve that?

      Typically that stuff just resolves itself and is more to do with the adaptive resolution. If set to full, it wouldn’t happen. There are sometimes other reasons, but I have never had it be a real problem in the final renders.

      Thanks for watching and commenting!

    I must say this tutorial was a real treat! Very useful tips everywhere from lots of research and trial and error on your behalf, extremely appreciated. I’m gonna start playing around with some projects, see what else I can discover!

    Again thank you for this, definitely inspires you to just get back on AE and enjoy :)

  • Steve

    Just worked my way through all the tutorials. Phew, it’s been emotional! For the last day I’ve spent more time with Daniel than I have with my girlfriend :) It’s an excellent series, clear and detailed without anything extraneous. So basically, ‘thanks’, it was much appreciated!
