If you want the internet to care put a cat on it.
How do you link comps across Ae projects like References in Maya?
I learned character rigging in Autodesk Maya. Now, I’m teaching myself character rigging in After Effects and I want to learn a good workflow for a complex file structure. I’m used having a folder structure wherein there are set folders for scene files, props, and rigs each containing project files one can import as a reference. This way any changes to the rig file will be applied in all scene files referencing the rig. BOOM! Magic stuff.
I done googled this for 25 hours and no luck. I believe shows like ‪#‎Archer ‬use After Effects for character animation. I have yet to find resources online that can point me on how to accomplish a comparable animation workflow like what I understand to use in Maya.
Lynda.com has some wonderful introductory training but it doesn’t quite have the necessary training materials for advanced concepts in 2D character animation. I noticed this in their tutorials for Toon Boom and Cinema 4D as well.
So, as one working on a short film in After Effects with the express purpose for learning more about Ae Character animation where can I turn to answer this question and ones like it?
Please leave your helpful comments!
