Does anyone have a good tutorial video on how to rig a kissing animation between two characters? most of the videos i find are only to teach how to rig a person to walk, show expressions, wave, but i havent seen one to make two animated characters realistically makeing out, I wouldnt even know where to begin of the lip rigging and the body rigging can anyone help me out?

rigging is rigging. Joints rotate and muscles shorten and bulge or lengthen and narrow which I imagine could be achieved through maybe a lattice deformer? There literally thousands of muscles in the face and to even simulate 5 of them would be complex. And there's foreshortening involved too. 😕😕

And "making out" is a whole other thing than kissing. You probably should shoot for cartoonish rather than realistic. Especially considering the assets. I mean they don't even have lips...so,

Short answer: No, I know of no tutorials on how to make two flat images realistically makeout.

But heres a reference of 2D characters making out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pX6f_K8hSk If you look for tutorials on all of AE deformation tools you should be able to figure out what you need to do. Puppet tool? Latice deformer? But again...I think you're in deeper water than you realize.

Well truthfully i dont really want to figure out what rig would be realistic, iv done rigging before of duik bassel but just of rigging the entire structure of a character, where i can wave his hand, make him do a kick, make him bring his head up, i just dont know how exactly i would move his joints and face with the other to make them kiss where it looks realistic,

Could i upload a video scene of two animated characters kiss, track their movement and then incoperate it in my characters? Or like how when you put connect an entire rig structure to your character and then if you press the walk option on duik bassel the character starts to walk without me having to move his legs my self and record it, could i upload one to the duik bassel to go along with its auto walk, and it could be one i found online they if you put into a program like duik bassel and have their character completey rigged it would do an auto action in this case a kiss?

Are you well expirenced with Motion tracking thou?

I've used it a handful of times. Pick a high contrast point. Track it, then stick something to it.

More or less.

Without any idea about what your graphics look like nobody can advise specifically. You need to provide some sample fram and how you want it to look. This can be anything from hyper complex if you really want to simulate every facial muscle movement to simply slapping on a distortion effect for a bit of pout.

Well actually their a 2d design so their will not be much detail of facial muscles
