Duik Bassel 2

Duik Bassel 2 — professional character animation in After Effects

Duik Bassel 2 is the industry-standard rigging and animation toolset for Adobe After Effects. It gives motion designers everything needed to turn flat illustrations into fully articulated characters — skeletons, inverse and forward kinematics, automatic rigging, physics-based dynamics and a rich library of animation helpers — all inside one dockable panel.

Rig any character or shape

Start by adding bones to your artwork, then let Duik connect and structure them. It handles bipeds, quadrupeds, birds, fish, tails, hair and completely custom setups. The automatic rigging step wires up controllers, IK/FK switching and constraints so your character is ready to pose in seconds.

Animate with control and physics

Once rigged, animate using intuitive controllers instead of wrestling with keyframes. Layer on dynamics to add spring, bounce and follow-through to any property, and use the built-in animation and easing tools to refine timing. The result is natural, believable motion with a fraction of the manual work.

Why designers rely on Duik

• A complete, battle-tested pipeline used by studios and freelancers worldwide.
• Non-destructive rigs you can tweak at any point in production.
• Clean, well-organised controllers that keep complex characters manageable.
• Actively maintained, multilingual and free to use.

Installation

Place Duik Bassel.2.jsx (and its assets folder) in your After Effects ScriptUI Panels folder, restart After Effects, then open it from Window → Duik Bassel.2.jsx. Dock the panel anywhere in your workspace and start rigging.
