    What I usually do when using a reference layer/comp is to apply a Fill effect to it. Pick a very bright and distinguishable color (the default bright red usually does the job), so it's easier to be pixel-perfect with the placement. Of course, being 100% precise isn't always a necessity, however it's come in handy for me a lot of times.

    Yes, even I do the same. And we can create null and parent all related layers to null, adjust the position wherever you want. Once done, zero the null position or other properties and delete the null

    Hi Jake, thanks for another awesome tuto. I've been using Duik cos it can cover most of my work. Just curious, how's the performance of the stretch and bend made with Rubberhorse? I don't know what principles Robberhorse uses to do the stretch for the artwork. Duik uses puppet pins which means when you have a big artwork or complex layers, it really slows down the interactive speed in the viewport. If Rubberhorse uses another way which makes the performance much better, I will definitely buy it to have a try cos I'm going to have a project needs rigging the illustration. Thanks!

    I am a 3D Maya rigger for high end VFX. Thank you for the video. It feels unreasonable that you have to move\distort the layers (twice!) instead of moving the pivots. I like the built in "realism" (squash and stretch), but I think this would all be easier to rig and animate (especially animate) in Maya (using orthographic camera to keep everything 2D if you like)... Moving the model is extremely unacceptable in 3D vfx rigging (even if you 'eyeball' it back in)

    Well first of all, this isn't a new feature. It's been part of rubberhose 2 since release. And with the RubberPin system (which I'll be making a video about) you can rig characters with the puppet tool as well. So yes, it's definitely comparable to duik! In my opinion it's much simpler to set up and use, and in many cases gives you more than enough control for character animation.

    RubberHose is fantastic for its rigging simplicity, and can be set up very quickly. There are times when I need certain features that Duik offers, though. I recommend learning all the available character rigging tools so you know their strengths and weaknesses so you can choose the best 5ool for each project. Animating with character parts 2 and 3 are the classes I recommend for learning character animation. I will soon have a video on KZread comparing RubberHose to both Duik and Limber, along with more rigging videos.

    RubberHose was released in 2017, and Limber in 2018. So no, it's not trying to be Limber :). There are many videos on youtube comparing the two tools. Each has pros and cons, but both are worth knowing how to use.
