The new Duik Ángela is here!
The comprehensive rigging and animation toolkit for Adobe After Effects just got even better.
Duik, it's 14 years of continuous innovation, more than 50 individual features – which could as well be as many individual scripts sold separately - packaged in a free and open source toolkit, just for you!
And we will be releasing a free tutorial once a week, every Wednesday, from 1 February until 5 April 2023!
Workers, Duik’s been made for you. We hope that with Duik your work will be a bit faster, a bit easier. But don’t let the Capital benefit from it, your value isn’t diminished by the fact that you’re working better and faster: don’t lower your price, don’t accept tighter deadlines, not from your boss, nor your client.
Just spend the time you’ve saved thanks to Duik with your family, your friends, doing what you like, not what you’re forced to do.
Duik is free and open source because we want everyone to be able to use it, as they wish, without constraints. We have a dream where everyone can afford the tools they need.
Duik is free and open source because everyone should be able to modify and share their own tools, and no one should be tied to any form of organization, whether it’s a state or a company. We have a dream of emancipation.

Did you really think Duik Ángela was finished?
Of course not! We're already releasing minor updates for bugfixes and improvements, and we're also already working on Duik Ángela.1 (17.1) with... All the features which didn't make it to 17.0 because time goes soooo fast.
Who's got a way to slow time, even just a little bit?
You can become a member to get an early access to all our tools, including the upcoming new versions of Duik.
And we're writing the doc and preparing a very beautiful book, which we hope will be available soon! |

Ramses, the Rx Asset Management System is getting closer to a public, non-beta release. Here's the plan (not necessarily in this exact order):
⬣ The After Effects add-on is in development. That means that a private Beta will soon be available for members, to help you with your versionning, naming, sorting, tidying of After Effects projects. Yup, that's what Ramses does.
⬣ Next, the Blender add-on will be finished too, and will also be available in early-access for all members soon.
⬣ And finally we're going to make a Ramses Server available to all members, to help them share their Ramses data between all users and workstations. There will be some limitations for Silver members to not overload our servers / be able to pay for bigger servers when needed.
After all these tests, Ramses will finally get out of Beta tests!
An Beta version is already publicly available so every one can already download and try it. |

DuME, the Duduf Media Encoder, is also getting very close to the exit of the Beta limbo.
As you can see on the screenshot above, its render queue is finally almost ready, and we're upgrading the UI with a pretty nice nodal view. Don't worry, it's still very easy to use and comes with carefully hand-crafted presets, so transcoding a video or rendering an After Effects project is still just a matter of dropping a file on the UI and clicking "Go!". Nice, and easy.
Oh, and it's been upgraded to use the latest version of ffmpeg, which is insanely fast.
This one will be available in early-access quite soon too, keep in touch!
After we've released the nodal view and render queue, we'll add more filters, we'll finish the support of OpenImageIO to fully support EXR sequences and their AOVs, and we'll improve the support of OpenColorIO. All this will be a lot of work but it's worth it!
With a preview window, it won't be just a media encoder anymore, but a (very basic) compositor. No, the goal is not to develop a compositor, it's just to highlight that it's a bit more than just a basic encoder. Some weird stuff in between. |

Worry not, Blender fans and users, Bluik is not forgotten!
Duik Ángela's been a lot of rigging work, and Duduf is getting some fresh air before deep diving back into trigonometry, python, constraints, kinematics and other nerd stuff to release an early alpha version of a working Bluik, Duik for Blender. |
