Yes, a video on the turtle rig please! Jake you have such a gift for teaching! Thank you!

Only half way through but it seems a ton of thought has been put into this update that makes it so friendly to the artist. Great job guys. 👍

Yes please Jake!...You should do an advance rigging tutorial for facial expression as you showed by the end. kind of like what you did for Duik..That was epic I wasn't a big fun of Rubberhose 2 but this version is really really reallyyyyy good 🥰 Definitely buying it!!!! Great work

Fantastic update breakdown. RH3 is a must have!

Wow what an update!!! Great video Jake! Someday maybe you can make a video on how you managed the walk/run cycle for the turtles where they actually ran across the screen. I have had such a hard time with that in the past and would love to learn your technique!

Super cool! I don’t do much character animation these days, but I still might get this just because it looks fun.

Pretty huge update, will be going back to rubberhose from Limber with the new bend slides and the ability to do multiple bends. One thing that Limber is still fantastic for is applying shape layer art to the limb so it can bend with it etc. I haven't tried it yet but I imagine using DUIK controls with the EGP features here would be fantastic. The DUIK controllers are shape layers like VOID and have functions to move those controls up outside of the precomp pretty easily. If set up right you could bring out all of your duik and rubberhose controls for each instance of the rig super easily giving you complete control. Great overview Jake! looking forward to adding this one to my toolbelt

Yes! Great video as always, would love to see a RIG tutorial for this one!

I am not a RH user, but these updates are great, I may give it a try thanks a lot Jake and everyone for such great effeorts

Always great stuff jake

Wow the ninja turtles example is insane, would definitely love to see an entire video about it. Amazing job! Can’t wait to get my hands on it

What is egp exactly and what is the best thing about it and why is it useful with RH3?

Did you take a breath during this video? I would love for you to do a full-character rig video using Rubberhose 3. I love your style and once I am familiar with the content/topic, I appreciate how easy it is to get a refresher. However, with all the changes since Rubberhose 2, it will be like learning it all over again. If you do create a video, I would appreciate spots where I can pause and turn to Ae and do the same action. Maybe you could make the source graphics available and in that way, I could copy your every move while learning the tool. You're the best, thank you for all you do to educate your viewers. Rubberhose 3 is purchased and installed, I can see a lot of fun in the future. Have a great day!

Yes please to the EGP breakdown episode, that looks like it is a game changer

i for one would LOVE to see a video dedicated to the turtle rig. i love the idea of a duplicate-able customizable base rig.

Thank you this is absolutely amazing! I'd love to see a detailed video about Rig to EGP for the turtles rig.

awsome Jake!

Wow. Very thorough! Now I wanna see this vs Angela please.

Love Rubber Hose. I had to upgrade because these features are insane! More of the ninja turtles please! Thank you.

Great 👍 hose i like it it's amazing 😍 thanks 4 ur intuitive and explains this plug 🔌 in

Nothing original to say here....A) love it B) turtle rig is a must. That is all. LOL Thanks for being amazing and sharing all your info with the community Jake!!

thanks jake youre my rubberbro

POV : Rig Inception is not real it cant hurt you Jake : Hold my hose

Sold!

Great tutorial. For the Steve character, how do you have the top of the arms to not have a black stroke at the shoulder.

EGP to rig is a game-changer

Okay, it's all beautiful. But when that cute plugin in bottom right corner coming out?

I would love to see a comparison of the rigging tools. There are too many! I don't want to buy them all if I don't need to there seems to be overlap in features. Like why pick anything over anything else? Would also love to see a full body and facial expression rig with rubberhose if that's possible in one tool then I feel like I don't need any others! (though I already have joysticks and sliders) 😂

I felt the same and have been using Duik Basel for all of my character rigs. Then one of my jobs had bespoke characters that needed bendy arms that the puppet pin couldn't quite achieve and some other bits and pieces so I decided to get rubber hose and it has actually blown my mind! Much less layers required because it doesn't require the same structures, everything is procedural so you can alter things even after the animation is complete anddd it works well with duik. I still use duik for face rigging and the foot roll feature. Although after seeing this new feature of changing the point for the bend direction I'm going to see if I can get a foot roll with a rubberhose limb....

THis looks amazing and I would love to see the ninja vid as well! I really like the Photoshop sample. Can you tell me what kind of resolution/document size you would need to use when creating the artwork in photoshop to keep the quality when creating the rig? thanks!

@JakeInMotion

Жыл бұрын

You should work at whatever resolution you need for your project. If you plan to render at 1920x1080 and have closeups of your character's face, then the rig needs to be very large so that at 100% scale, the face is large enough for your render comp.

Would love to see the break down for the turtle rigs.

Wonderful Rubberhose. The controller is way faster than the Duik one. The only sad thing that no one ever said is that the external controller doesn't allow you to activate the continuous rasterization control (the sun), making all the movement cameras, such as zoom in and out, impossible to do without creating giga comps... If someone could find a solution to this, it would be my hero :D

This was a really wonderful and informative tutorial! Thanks so much. I did have one question however, and I'm having trouble finding an answer on the BattleAxe website. Perhaps I completely overlooked it, but I'm trying the Rig to EGP feature, and it doesn't seem to work on old hoses, which isn't surprising. My question is: Is there a way to convert old hoses from Rubberhose2 to the new ones from 3? or will I need to rebuild them from scratch to use the EGP features?

You can't update RH2 hoses to RH3, but you should be able to select an RH2 controller and send it to EGP with the Rig to EGP button.

Parent to hose allows you to attach a layer to any point along the hose. If you only need to parent a layer to one of the ends, standard parenting to one of the controllers would work just fine.

For the smaller freebies like void and butcapper, the goal is really to make them KBar compatible. That way you don't have to keep them docked to use them. I realize you might not be a KBar user, but it's an incredibly great way to make a custom set of buttons for your most used scripts and functions.

omg! looks like a gamechanger things!! can't wait to push it on my body

Hey Jake, love the in depth update here! Question for ya: In the style presets section, you briefly work with the bend crease preset, which outlines the hose with a thin black stroke. Is there a way to only have the stroke show where the crease happens? I'm trying to get the stroke effect only where the overlaps happen, and figured that would be the preset to work off of. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated!

@JakeInMotion

Жыл бұрын

Hmmmm that's tricky. If you open up the styling in the contents of that preset, you'll see a group called "Bend crease" and another called "Base". Inside the base group is "Outline". What I would try is duplicating the entire hose layer and deleting the outline group out of the duplicate, and the crease group out of the original. Then use the base layer as an alpha matte for the crease layer, and it'll only show up where it overlaps with the original hose.

exactly, that's why i switched to moho as well. All these AE plugins/scripts can do the same things (almost) but they are so slow. You need a super computer to animate more than 2 characters in a scene. Moho is buttery smooth even on my old laptop

So is it just a personal preference thing as to choosing between using Rubberhose or Duik for character animation? Seems like Rubberhose might be easier(?).

It's definitely not a personal preference, they are very different tools that each have pros and cons. I'm going to make a follow-up video comparing duik to Limber to RH3, so stay tuned for that.

So can you combine bends and taper? or a least Taper and slide?

Does this have a foreshortening tool for your limbs? The only way I can sort of replicate this is using the "slide" controller but I am not getting the best results.

@JakeInMotion

Жыл бұрын

Not exactly, but you can kind of fake it to a point. The way I've done it is by using one of the taper style presets and setting the Start Size of the taper to 50% (on the hose layer). Now you can use the End Size to fake the foreshortening of the end of the hose.

It's starting to look like DUIK. I'm not complaining but DUIK is an absolute slog... so complicated to be damned near unusable. Again, I'm not complaining, I purchased this, but yeah, the UI and AE layers have increased dramatically in complexity.

Great but in my own opinion if Rubber hose 3, 4 o 5 no have 360 head rotation as Cartoon Animator , without this tool this software just looks outdated.
