Rigging a humanoid puppet in After Effects


#1

Hello friends! I’m building my first humanoid puppet in After Effects. I’ve viewed a few online videos and I’d like to implement the technique outlined in this video here. However, the example puppet does not have feet.

Is it possible to create a puppet that has “sticky feet”? (feet that stick to the ground unless you move them). Or, in other terms, is there a way to build a puppet in AE that has IK behavior, at least on the feet?

I’m also open to looking into other tutorials/videos you can point me to, or suggestions on other AE puppet rigging methods.

Thanks for any and all assistance.
