For this project I set out with an ambitious idea: to model, rig and animate a 3D character all within After Effects.


Character was modeled in Element3D, rigged with Elementary and DuIK, and animated in After Effects.


Some insights about this workflow:


Is it easy? No.


Is it frustrating? Yes.


Does it render fast? Yes. Faster than most 2D rigs I’ve made.


Is it worth it? Maybe. 🤓
