Hy how can i export one animation of the character without background. I in transparency no background?, regards
Hy!
You can export without the background if you change the type of the background to guide layer.
(Right click on the layer and in the popup choose guide layer.
Then in the render queue settings you need to modify the followings:
1) Composition > Add to Render Queue
2) Select “Best Settings”
3) Guide Layers -> Always Off.
Basically the background is a guide layer but it’s hidden, you can see or delete the background layer just click shy button. (and it’s locked, unlock first)
If you have further questions feel free to ask.
Thanks
I still have the black background when i export the file, what can i do?
Which format did you choose?
Quick Time .Mov format can handle alpha but you need to choose RGB+Alpha channel in the settings:

In After Effects CC2015 the imported PSD file layers in some cases being cropped. Now After Effects CC2015 versions also included.
Rigmo has a tool for facial expression? or have a plan for future? ( cuz i need badly) ㅠㅠ
Hy,
you can move the head elements (rotate or reposition eyebrows, eyes, mouth, nose) and change the expression of the eyes or mouth so you can add lip sync also. All characters have face expression designs which you can change easily.
Hello, I have problems with my character, Segui tutorials as explained in the videos. but my character is clipped with misshapen body parts as if it would fit the proportions of the characters that have establesidos example. but that does not happen and I lost a long time to make a new character functional
I need help, when to replace parts of my character, cut it deforms and does not keep the proportions
Hy,
I think it is an issue which occurs in After Effects CC2015 because a new import method which was developed by Adobe.
You can reimport your asset in After Effects if you following the attached tutorial:
right click on the layer in After Effects which is cropped – Replace Footage – File…
Then you can load your PSD file, and choose the layer you want to reimport. When ready, your layer will be in the size.
If you need to reimport more layer, here is a little trick:
Change the name of the folder that the Model sheet is in then when you open the After effects file it will come in as missing. Then when you replace one of the layers it brings in all of the other files at once.
This is occurs only in After Effects CC2015 in older versions everything is OK. I’m working on to I fix it.
If you have further questions feel free to ask.
Great work Mate! High quality and design, glws : )
Thank you very much! 
I really appreciate it.
Hi, I love Rigmo…. but there are no facial expressions for the William character. There are no eyes, mouth, eyebrows etc. Can you help? Am I doing something wrong? I am trying to use the William working animation. Thank youl
Hy,
nope, it’s not because of you. William is this kind of guy. Faceless. He present that everybody can use this template for character who doesn’t have face. In the PSD file which is belongs to William you can see the face layers
(for example: ___head1/right_eyebrow1, or left_eye_base1, etc.). These layers are blank layers but if you want to you can fill them with your designs.
If you have further questions feel free to ask.
Hey,
Im haivng some troubles with editing the premade animations. For example; im trying to change some of the facial features such as the mouth position, eye positions, etc on the premade running animation… but i am unable to for some reason. In the effects control panel where i would normally be able to change those values and edit the animation; the numbers are red and changing the values does not change actually make anything happen.
Please help me with this if you can.
Hy,
so when you click on the face icon and try to change the sliders on the effect controls tab it is not working?

I would like to ask did you merge multiple characters to one project?
If you can send me your project file/s I could look what is happening exactly.
Can you send me please from the account which has the license for Rigmo? Thanks!
i did import some of the other character animations into this project, but there is no reason for that to affect this characters animations and my ability to edit the character. i do not have time to upload and send you my files, im on a tight deadline and i need to get this done. Unfortunately, this pack is extremely convoluted and nowhere close to as easy as you make it seem in the advertisement. Im contacting you with this account as the account with the licence is my business account and notifications for responses would go to someone else. I do have a licence to use this though.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Unfortunately the files with the premade animations can create this kind of problems when you try to merge them to one project. If you want to use this animations together first render on of them to a video file like mov or avi then import to the another project and use with the another rigged character.
However you can merge the .AEP files without the premade animations (e.g. 001_Bob__Rig, 002_Steve__Rig etc.). You can use them at the same time and you can create your own animations in one project.
If you require any further information please feel free to ask
You should really figure out a way to make it so you can merge the premade animations. Not having this ability sort of negates the purpose of having premade animations for all characters in the first place if you’re not even able to use them together. Really is an essential feature. Without it, this pack should be half the price you’re charging people for. Really not happy with this.
also is there no way to get rid of that awful paint splatter overlay that is on “kelvin”?
The paint splatters are merged to Kelvin, unfortunately there no way to get rid of that. He shows that you can use textured character too with this template.
Hi! I have a doubt. I have drawn new characters and I want shoe’s layer behind leg’s layer . How can I do it? Thanks!
Hy,
just change the layer order in the composition.
First click on the “Shy switch” button, then place the ”..Shoe” layers under the underneath ”.._Leg” layers. Here in the screenshot I highlighted the Shoe layers
Hello, I am new to after effects and PSD. Is it possible to have the character without hands, head and arms? I just want the body, legs and shoes. Can this be done?
Hi I message earlier, I also need to move the body lower closer to the feet. Please help!
Hy, yes of course you can use your character without hands, head and arms, just leave those layers blank in Photoshop. Please don’t delete the layers, After Effects needs to load them.
If you click on the third icon on scene then in the effect control panel you can change the position of the body parts. For more information please watch the included videotutorials I explain everything in them.
Hi, thank you for that. That’s wonderful and just want to say well done on making this entire project. It’s great. I have another question. Last night I used to blank PSD model sheet to create my own character and then I used it to replace the Model Sheet of Jenny. I was able to create my animation using my character last night. This morning it seems I the model sheet in Jenny has returned to the original and now I see the little girl instead of my icon even in my animation which I made last night. Why did the PSD file reset by itself 
thank you for your kind words.
Unfortunately I don’t know why your PSD was reset. I think this didn’t happened because of the template, I never experienced something like this. Did you save it properly or if you use cloud service maybe this happened because of that, or maybe you opened another file accidental?
I’m sorry that your work is gone 
Really awesome work looks useful! Bookmarked! Good luck!
Thank you very much!
do u have the preset animation ?
Hy,
can you please clarify it for me what do you mean?
There are 40 pre made animations in the pack you can watch them in the preview video.
a bit disappointed, having trouble setting up my character – everything is named correctly. however i have no references coming in to after effects, and as others have mentioned im having issues with layers being cut off, or outside of the compositions.. seems a bit clunky having to save over the top of existing footage for these to be able to work as well..
it looks like going through and replacing each layer, and selecting “Layer Size” on import is fixing this.. its a shame it will take me the rest of the day to do this as there are so many layers – may have been better off rigging these in DUIK and doing it all myself!
I am sorry for your inconvenience. Is there anything I can help you with?
perhaps? Im not sure what ive done wrong but the rig does not work well for me at all
ive had to spend a day in after effects trying to fix and it is still pretty average
Can you send me your project files? If you can please upload them to a cloud server like google drive or dropbox and send me the download link via my Profile page. I would like to check your rig. Thank you.
I have a question. I have already my own characters but in illustrator. Could I use the same logic when I import from Photoshop?
Hy,
do you mean you want to import your illustrator assets into Photoshop, then import them from Photoshop to After Effects? In this case if you use smart objects in Photoshop After Effects will import them badly. Unfortunately After Effects and the smart objects aren’t good friends. If you import the Illustrator assets to Photoshop and rasterize them it will work very well but this is a destuctive workflow which will prevent the easy modification.
Hi Team, I’m interested on purchasing this awesome package, but cannot find voiceover option, does this package have voiceover option included? Thanks!
Hy railscr,
you can easily change the mouth states of the characters so you can animate your character to talk or sing as the voice file sounds.
If you think automatic voiceover option unfortunately the pack doesn’t contain it.
If you have further questions feel free to ask.
Thanks for the clarification, I appreciate it!
Hey, not sure if you can help me, I may need to send you a photo for reference. Ive got my own design for my character, and followed your tutorial on how to save it over another “Model Sheet” e.g. Bobs one. But my characters head is getting cut off in AfterEffects when my layers show up. Even when trying to re-position it in the Character setup pre-comps e.g “Character Elements – HEAD1”. It only reveals a third of his head and cant drag the rest of his face into the comp. Any thoughts? Many thanks.
Hy,
of course, please send me your project files, I will look what is the problem. It would be great if you can upload them to google drive or similar cloud services. You can send the download link via our Profile Page
Maybe if you reimport your asset you can fix this problem.
Does this template also work with the Character Animator: https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/how-to/adobe-character-animator.html ? So webcam can be used to animate the face?
Hy, sorry for the late answer,
unfortunately this template doesn’t work with character animator. If you want to create new animations you need to animate your character with keyframes but with the rigging system the animation is super fun.
Hey, I love your product but I have to admit I am struggling.
I made my character and a good chunk of it upon importing is missing even though I checked labeling.
One of the biggest issues I have found is you labeled the left arms right arms and right arms left arms etc through the whole file. Left is right and right is left. Maybe its a bug but I went in and changed it to ‘the wrong side as it is in bobs and steves files I downloaded’ and it still is showing up as missing.
I have no idea what to do and I really need to get to work on this animation.
I will happily email you my character.psd so you can see and compare it vs what you have because I am lost at this point.
Please get back to me ASAP!
thanks,
Hy, Sorry for the late answer, I was on vacation without internet and without After Effects.
It would be a huge help if you can send me your project files. It would be good if you could upload them to google drive or similar cloud services and send me the download link. You can send me this link here:

Thank you very much and sorry for the struggle we will find the solution!
So you’re basically selling a product that relies entirely on a free tool (duIK) that does all the work… that doesn’t seem OK to me. Are you in a work relation or an agreement with Duduf?
DUIK is a full free plugin as you can see in the license description:
http://duduf.net/index.php/products/license/
In this template there are a lot of work, a lot other features and codes which make this template unique and useful for people who need character animation quickly, or who aren’t familiar with character animation and need a quick solution for theirs production. Also with this template we advertise his project and generate downloads for DUIK. And yes I show this template for him on the forum.
Hello, is there a “dancing” animation preset included?
Hy, unfortunately no dancing animation in the pack, but thanks to the easy rigging system you can create your own quickly if you are familiar with animation.
Very effective & nice work
Thank you very much!
