In this video, I break down a simple but powerful character rigging workflow in After Effects that does not use bones.

First, I explain how the rig actually works — the logic behind it — so you understand what’s happening instead of blindly following steps. Once the core idea is clear, I apply the same workflow to rig more complex characters, proving how flexible and scalable this method is.

After rigging the character completely, I take it a step further and animate a full walk cycle, all using the same bone-less setup in Duik Angela.

At the end, I also show how I quickly create a controllable animated gradient background for the character in just a few clicks using my After Effects plugin Gradient X — perfect for presentation-ready shots without wasting time on manual setups.

This workflow is ideal if you want:

Simple, clean rigs without bone hierarchies

Faster setup and easier adjustments

A practical approach that scales from simple to complex characters
