    Have you looked into Bendio at all? It's by the same folks behind Limber. I think it'd be really helpful for things like hands-the Bendio plugin trailer even has a hand example in it.

    This video is super great. I want to ask you something, do you think do we need to have drawing skills for these kind of videos? I mean I can't draw my own character, so I subscribed a platform to download&use characters etc. Do you think I should learn how to draw the character on Illustrator? Thanks!

    Personally, I think being able to illustrate your own characters would be a big plus, as it gives you a lot of control and flexibility over the animation process, especially when you have to make minor tweaks and illustrations in after effects.

    I want to buy LIMBER but I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO INSTALL IT. I posted this previously. Could you please release a video on how to install LIMBER into AFTER EFFECTS 2023. I am using a WINDOWS 10 DELL PC to run AFTER EFFECTS 2023 included in my CREATIVE CLOUD subscription. I am still learning After Effects and yes I do subscribe to your channel. I am considering using the link you provided in an earlier video to purchase the LIMBER plug in. I have no idea how to install it. There is only one dodgy video with no narration that exists here on KZread. The website for LIMBER does NOT have instructions. THANKS

    Hi, When you purchase Limber it comes with instructions on how to install it. It is similar to installing other scripts for After Effects. You simply copy the 'Limber.jsxbin' file into the scriptsUI folder in your After Effects directory. Hope this helps. Thanks!

    Let's say I have *ten characters* that involve *four different views* each. I'm looking at 40 different characters total. At 30 layers per character, that's *1200 layers* floating on my main composition's timeline! ... If I pre-compose each character, the layer count gets knocked down to 40, but then I'm forced to animate them "in the dark" because I can't see what's happening on the main comp's timeline while editing them. ...... Suggestions?

    Use DUIK's extraction feature, where you can extract controllers from a pre-comp. If you own rubberhose, it has a similar tool.

Also, Rubberhose 3 claims to be compatible with Limber, but I haven't tested it out to see if anything breaks.
