WEBVTT 00:00.300 --> 00:05.300 Hi they're welcome to this video about the puppet what tool in Adobe Illustrator. 00:05.580 --> 00:09.720 And it's used for a couple of good things one of them is this where we get to kind of manipulate type 00:09.720 --> 00:20.580 and bend it around so it fits into shapes but also make monsters dance very very important useful technique. 00:20.710 --> 00:24.150 You can want his wife to let's go and do the turnover. 00:24.230 --> 00:25.300 Yeah. 00:25.670 --> 00:27.420 All right let's get started. 00:27.420 --> 00:32.390 Open up the puppet pen file from your exercise files and we're going to find. 00:32.380 --> 00:33.380 We're going to click on something. 00:33.480 --> 00:33.960 OK. 00:34.170 --> 00:36.510 Now for this to work it needs to be a victor file. 00:36.510 --> 00:38.680 Ok so most things in those trade. 00:39.030 --> 00:45.660 If you want to do it with say a pig or pixels raster images you can do in Photoshop is up and to layer 00:45.660 --> 00:48.970 as well as one after effects as well if you want to animate it. 00:49.120 --> 00:51.680 And this is the tool we want the puppet pintu. 00:52.080 --> 00:58.020 And you click on them once you need at least two Kaiba in this case probably a few of them now you'll 00:58.020 --> 01:02.150 need to kind of probably experiment with them because once you put them in wishless I grab the towel 01:02.150 --> 01:03.320 wiggle it. 01:04.040 --> 01:04.680 Cool huh. 01:04.830 --> 01:06.700 I love love. 01:07.240 --> 01:09.240 Just pretty cool organic. 01:09.250 --> 01:09.840 OK. 01:09.960 --> 01:17.220 Now you can see his kind of see the waves moving away has to be to be gay but you see that wiggling 01:17.220 --> 01:17.580 around. 01:17.700 --> 01:22.500 If you don't want that to happen you might go hey I'm going to undo that and then I'm going to put in 01:22.590 --> 01:24.240 a pin there and maybe a pin there. 01:24.300 --> 01:28.710 The more pins you have the kind of more it doesn't want to move around that you get more control and 01:28.730 --> 01:30.100 you can see it's not moving the whale. 01:30.240 --> 01:35.580 And here the tail is not moving that so you'll just play around with like what you need. 01:35.640 --> 01:39.970 How many pins you need if you want to get rid of pensée you don't want too many pick on them really 01:40.040 --> 01:40.840 on your keyboard. 01:40.840 --> 01:45.130 Other things you can do is I was going to pin this guy so you need to select them first. 01:45.270 --> 01:46.750 OK we're going to hear about it too. 01:46.970 --> 01:52.290 And one of the things is you do get out of phase just part of this process and you might have to tidy 01:52.290 --> 01:54.800 them out afterwards with the Dierich selection too. 01:54.910 --> 02:00.120 Ok so I'm just pinning in a few places and you can see and you can see down here. 02:00.120 --> 02:02.380 See this little line here has kind of come apart. 02:02.490 --> 02:04.340 And that's kind of pointing a little bit. 02:04.440 --> 02:09.930 There's no real way of kind of fixing that on the fly can you just get the things we wanted change or 02:09.930 --> 02:14.820 adjustments and then you might have to go and do some fixing up afterwards. 02:15.060 --> 02:18.090 And it's just a really good way of like kind of recurring this. 02:18.100 --> 02:18.730 OK. 02:18.990 --> 02:24.630 Say I don't want that kind of perfect circle look I'm kind of just adjusting this and other options 02:24.690 --> 02:26.490 is with them selected. 02:26.580 --> 02:31.410 There is business kind of dotted line or on the outside if you click hold and drag that's the rotation 02:31.410 --> 02:33.420 rather than movement. 02:33.540 --> 02:38.030 Right you are a station where Very go now by default. 02:38.060 --> 02:42.780 I've not by default you going to show the mish K I should have had that on by default but I turned it 02:42.780 --> 02:44.130 off and I find that helpful. 02:44.230 --> 02:44.760 OK. 02:44.970 --> 02:51.040 And it just shows you kind of like where it's kind of distorting this thing to on and off. 02:51.120 --> 02:54.420 Let's have a look at this one because this raises some other issues. 02:54.430 --> 03:00.600 But and this guy here let's say we're during a character right and it's best to draw them obviously 03:01.110 --> 03:05.140 off their body and legs so that you can later on adjust them right. 03:05.190 --> 03:06.370 Gives you more options. 03:06.390 --> 03:11.430 What we're going to do is select whole guy and we are going to grab the pintu and we get to look at 03:11.440 --> 03:12.560 kind of pin depth. 03:12.640 --> 03:12.950 OK. 03:13.050 --> 03:16.410 And let's click on the screen here. 03:16.410 --> 03:18.480 This guy is the best guy to do the animation. 03:18.530 --> 03:19.190 OK. 03:19.490 --> 03:21.170 And did it did it. 03:21.420 --> 03:21.910 OK. 03:22.000 --> 03:23.870 And put him back. 03:24.150 --> 03:27.460 One of the things is like say I want to move him in and like scratch his belly. 03:27.660 --> 03:33.060 But at the moment he's scratching his bum right cause it's going this kind of hand is going below this. 03:33.060 --> 03:36.440 Now he in other programs I've got something called Pin dip. 03:36.450 --> 03:41.580 We don't have that here in after fix sorry and illustrated yet probably will happen. 03:41.580 --> 03:45.930 You might be an option up here at say pin depth or here in future versions. 03:45.940 --> 03:46.890 It doesn't at the moment. 03:46.890 --> 03:51.240 Right so I'm going to put them back and it's nothing to do with like when the pins were placed is all 03:51.240 --> 03:52.650 to do with a live order. 03:52.830 --> 03:58.460 So what I can do is I can grab my direct selection to take off on just this hand here and I can bring 03:58.460 --> 04:04.250 it to the front to usual cut or go arrange bring the front and so it's all to do with that. 04:04.250 --> 04:05.950 OK you can mess around lots more. 04:05.950 --> 04:10.500 And your last panel figuring out is this guy and his will is but some pieces and dragging him up or 04:10.500 --> 04:11.040 down. 04:11.190 --> 04:11.550 OK. 04:11.580 --> 04:13.180 That might be just too painful. 04:13.260 --> 04:18.490 But now if I click on him and grab my puppet Pinto and I go he's great in his belly. 04:18.780 --> 04:22.450 Well some of the last but not least let's look at doing it kind of. 04:22.500 --> 04:23.870 I'm not a character animator. 04:23.880 --> 04:24.110 OK. 04:24.110 --> 04:31.080 I do more more graphic design kind of work with it so and maybe an earlier tutorial we grabbed this 04:31.410 --> 04:38.400 and this and we made sure this is in front and we selected both of them and we went object at the start 04:38.400 --> 04:40.020 we said with top object. 04:40.020 --> 04:41.060 And it kind of worked. 04:41.160 --> 04:43.760 Like oh I just fill out over here. 04:44.010 --> 04:48.170 So that's where it gets quite cold right is I can select on this. 04:48.300 --> 04:51.140 I am going to grab my pen to do I need to expand first. 04:51.150 --> 04:51.790 I do. 04:52.000 --> 04:58.700 OK so with it selected go to object go to envelope distort and go to expand. 04:58.980 --> 05:02.710 So now it's just bits and this is what I might do as well is I want that hot back. 05:02.770 --> 05:05.760 How can I go back in time get the hard liner. 05:06.020 --> 05:06.980 Lift the heart there. 05:08.680 --> 05:09.920 Object. 05:10.340 --> 05:16.210 This guy here will release object in flight this to say the least please. 05:16.230 --> 05:19.890 So now the two separate pieces I'm using this just as a visual guide. 05:20.060 --> 05:21.640 So this top one now at 05:24.930 --> 05:32.110 you're going to there's a course if I got to object and now explain them taking the long word. 05:33.030 --> 05:33.770 All right. 05:33.890 --> 05:40.710 And what it might do is give myself just a stronger feel so we can see what we're doing and grow up 05:40.770 --> 05:41.230 into. 05:41.250 --> 05:44.730 And what I'll do is I'll just give it some kind of rough pins. 05:46.950 --> 05:48.400 Ex-drunk you on the right part. 05:48.680 --> 05:55.360 And I'm going to open it there you know and they're there clicking on the actual victim. 05:55.360 --> 05:56.750 Not in this no man's land here. 05:56.750 --> 05:57.810 Because that won't work. 05:57.830 --> 06:00.800 And I want there's a couple of places I don't want it moving from. 06:00.800 --> 06:02.370 I want you to stay up here. 06:02.840 --> 06:07.870 I'm guessing now where I want these pins so I want that bet to stay because it's kind of looking nice. 06:07.860 --> 06:09.530 It's this kind of group here. 06:09.860 --> 06:10.800 OK that I need. 06:10.830 --> 06:11.690 I'm going to bring that out. 06:11.690 --> 06:13.390 Put another pin there just tidy. 06:13.400 --> 06:16.810 Then you can see how you can kind of get some really nice. 06:17.060 --> 06:17.640 Wow. 06:17.750 --> 06:22.440 I guess you see it there it's out of control. 06:22.700 --> 06:27.880 The other option will what you used to do is some of these liquified tools Nikole but there they don't. 06:27.920 --> 06:28.740 They're not as much. 06:28.740 --> 06:30.600 You know you kind of have as much control. 06:30.650 --> 06:35.880 So goodbye gray box and it's more like a hot war. 06:36.650 --> 06:37.330 All right. 06:37.340 --> 06:40.160 Your classic XYZ is to go and play with this guy. 06:40.340 --> 06:42.000 Set him up in some different poses. 06:42.100 --> 06:43.270 But before you go into that. 06:43.280 --> 06:49.640 I wanted to show you how it works and something like after effects because and let's say we take this 06:49.640 --> 06:56.620 fella OK and we stick him into our Libres but I want to put him into my library. 06:56.700 --> 07:03.950 But he said when he's about after effects because the puppet tool has an extra ingredient in after effects 07:03.950 --> 07:07.620 which is you can animate it whereas an illustrator it's kind of flattened. 07:07.640 --> 07:13.190 We animate a little bit in the next set of videos but she goes around going after effects just making 07:13.190 --> 07:15.160 a default comp nothing special. 07:15.350 --> 07:20.730 And here my libraries with my monster here is go make though. 07:20.900 --> 07:26.990 Actually I won't make it the game's going to zoom in or make it bigger and then but when you're scanning 07:26.990 --> 07:30.750 stuff up in after effects you click on that little button. 07:30.780 --> 07:35.990 So the victim comes and gets rescaled anyway and you can see he has the exact same like on the public 07:35.990 --> 07:39.900 Pinto sect same principle a few times it looks slightly different. 07:39.900 --> 07:42.230 There are yellow dots game. 07:42.320 --> 07:47.300 The nice thing about it is I can do the same thing as I did an illustrator except and there's a shortcut 07:47.330 --> 07:51.310 if you hold down the command key on a Mac or control key on a PC. 07:51.580 --> 07:53.310 OK so I'm holding it down. 07:53.480 --> 07:58.190 So click on the pin first then hold down that command key and then you see the top line on the bottom 07:58.190 --> 08:00.080 going you can kind of see the yellow line. 08:00.110 --> 08:07.070 I am du du du du du du du du and in Indiana and it looks kind of crazy Bosches if I bring my play head 08:07.100 --> 08:12.440 back to the beginning and hit return of my keyboard space bar my keyboard space spacebar my keyboard. 08:12.530 --> 08:13.970 Look get him 08:17.570 --> 08:18.330 every time. 08:18.350 --> 08:24.950 I mean this guy downs thousands of times but always makes me smile. 08:25.470 --> 08:30.150 Getting back to the beginning and having a good hand to case with him selected and hold the monkey down 08:30.230 --> 08:35.540 a little stopwatch kind of icon he is now clicking holding and dragging and skritch some time or waiving 08:35.540 --> 08:41.470 time back at the beginning spacebar. 08:43.450 --> 08:45.020 OK maybe it's just me. 08:45.020 --> 08:47.090 And so yeah that's just the quick version. 08:47.270 --> 08:48.670 I jump back into Illustrator. 08:48.680 --> 08:51.390 Now I've got a course on how to do that properly with a puppet. 08:51.390 --> 08:53.520 So we took a puppet depth mission. 08:53.520 --> 09:00.590 Also starching stuff so check out that after school that one in particular is the after effects and 09:00.590 --> 09:02.000 motion graphics course. 09:02.210 --> 09:07.580 And one last thing before we go is going to be times where we've got this mish K and we don't want it 09:07.600 --> 09:08.220 anymore. 09:08.390 --> 09:13.400 OK we want to get rid of the pens and you can do that by going to object and just go to expand parents 09:13.400 --> 09:17.370 and that kind of gets rid of everything and it's now just a regular old shape. 09:17.540 --> 09:23.220 All right my friends there is the puppet pin still and I hope you enjoyed it. 09:23.250 --> 09:25.930 And yeah I'd love to see what you do with this guy. 09:25.980 --> 09:31.270 OK make sure you share it with me on the site here and your social media. 09:31.330 --> 09:33.140 Yeah let's go into the next video.
