Releases: RxLaboratory/Duik
Duik Ángela Beta 2
This is the second Beta test version of Duik Ángela (17.0.0)!
The Beta will be public on 15 June 2022.
Since the previous Alpha version, a lot of improvements have been made and there are a few new features.
This is the list of the most important ones, read the changelog for the full details:
- After their envelops, Bones got their noodles! A nice way to quickly create completely customizable bendy limbs.
- The Connector can now connect a controller to a selection of Keys created by the Key Morph tool.
- Rename tool: to rename all puppet pins of a layer, you can just select the layer itself.
- The Kleaner now has optional (soft) limit settings.
- The frequency of the Wiggle and the Swink tools can now be safely animated!
- The performance of the Parent Constraint has been greatly improved! You can now use it safely even in very long comps.
- The Effector now works with custom shapes! (as long as they're poylgons, i.e. vertices without tangents)
- The Tail rig (and all FK with Overlap rigs) now have a Stretch parameter.
- Sanity tests: Improved performance. Some tests may be paused when the project is too big; they can still be run manually.
A few bugs have been fixed too, and note that Duik Ángela should now work correctly on After Effects Beta versions too.

Duik Ángela Alpha 14
That's the last Alpha! Soon, we're going to Beta!
- The big new feature this time is the walk cycle, which is also a run cycle now!
- There's also the new Comp Parameters in the tools/comp panel, to quickly adjust all the parameters of several comps at once, a bit like what rd_compSetter does, but with more options.
- I'm also releasing the Duik API, to let you easily include Duik features in your own scripts, if you know a bit of scripting. It's fully documented: http://duik.rxlab.io/
And a lot of improvements and a big bunch of bugfixes, thanks to your feedback, have a look at the changelog for all details:
