Character Animator

Hello everyone,I’ve created a character in AI and set up the two arms to be animatable via draggers. According to the recording tutorial, you can animate the arms separately by assigning a second dragger. However, after adding the second dragger, both arms are still controlled by the first one.In the error window, CH shows me the message:“The handle tagged as magnet is not used by any behavior.”Can someone help me fix this so I can animate each arm independently?Thanks in advance for your help!Bjoern

How can I create a animation of a liquid?  Such as water in a glass.

Help! I really need to get the front profile of my character fixed for a Christmas animation! When I'm in rig mode everything looks good and works but when I record, her face artwork goes wonky. The quarter profile works flawlessly so I don't know why the front is freaking out.

Was working on my project. Fine yesterday. Opened up character animator and had the external edits error not being able to find the project path. This project has been so stressful and took a lot of work, now all seems lost. Yesterday, I could not even get a basic cycle trigger to render, now this. I'm just done.

Hi!I have Character Animator CC 2018 (Version 1.1) installed on my PC, but there is nowhere an uninstall option.At the Creative Cloud app it´s not listed. I can only install the newer versions (2.1.1.-3.2).Also nothing in the windows 10 apps & features. Best Regards

Hello, I have a question, in CM, how would you use the Triggers to move hands playing the guitar? with character 'Martin', when you play music, it would be handy to use Triggers to move his hand to play the guitar.Thanks...great software

I've downloaded Martin and for some reason he is very large in CH. How do I resize him to fit in frame?Also is there a tutorial on how to use Martin?Cheers.

I worked on a doll puppet and it was listed on okaysamurai website i think some years ago and it had this functionality, The arm could move 360 degree and also the elbow, and it was like upper arm and lower arm are separate layers but connected to each other giving a 360 degree hinge rotation effect at elbow.  But unfortunately i dont see that puppet anymore on intenet and i need that effect badly, Tried my best but could not get it properly.  Do anyone know how to do it?

Hi,  I am new to Character Animator.  I created an Illustrator puppet from Okay Samurai's a tutorial (believe he works for Adobe) using the blank puppet.  The puppet is live and works in Character Animator except for the arm and leg movement.  I have tried several things.   I have activated body tracking symbol and it tracks my head and shoulder movement, side to side but no arm or hand movement.  The lip sync function works as well. When I load a different stock character from the Character Animator home screen, in the Character Animator app, all the movement works.   I don't think I messed with anything related to the behavior aspect of the process. I opened the blank Adobe template and edited the layers according to the tutorial.  At the end of Okay Samurai's tutorial the character's arms and legs track the way they are supposed to, after he modified it.  I followed the same steps but having issues with body movement. &nbsp

even if i press trigger then after going to next frame its shows Right quarter view

i'm trying to add the dangle effect to this stock character but i can't control it and t's not even when i go to photoshop and i make the moving parts as separated parts still not working, any thoughts? 

So I'm using Auto-swap for the first time and it works fine with dragger, but not at all with body tracking or the motion linbrary. The arms just sit there until I drag them. Is this normal? Are the two just not meant to play with each other?

So Basically I've been trying to add another set of eyes to the puppet in which the eyes are Squinting , so i went to Photoshop added two new layers and drew the eyes , Put each layer in it's file "Right Eye, Left Eye" and named each one "Right Squint, Left Squint" and was able to add a trigger that worked and i could trigger.My problem is as soon as i saved the PS file another set of the puppet showed up (a Static one). My character is able to do everything and i can trigger the Eye Squint but the static image won't go away.Any Help would be appreciated as i have no clue about what i'm doing as this is my first day on Animation of any sort .Note : Both the puppet are positioned exactly in the same place i just moved the character that's moving (Blue) a bit to the left so you can see my issue.

There are basically 3 objects I'm trying to run the animation with: the 2 chinese characters and an invisible "holder" sort of in a "U" shape that the characters fall into so they appear to be falling into the speech bubble. It seems like some of the collison is working since the characters does an initial bounce but ends up falling into each other and through the "holder" after the first bounce. Any ideas? I originally thought the characters might've been too complex since I created a similar animation with the letters of "hello" and that worked perfectly. However, I changed the collison mesh to a simple box and it still resulted in the same glitch. Hope someone can help! 

I finished my puppet in illustrator and it's in the origin of the worksheet but when I export it to Character Animator it is not in the origin, and I can't move it to the centre. What can I do? 

Hi,I'm currently working on a rigged character with dangling hair. At first it worked great but now something strange happens and I can't find out what the problem can be. When I add dangle to the hair and I move the head in Record mode, the hair moves but jitters. I've tried to make the head independent but then it still jitters. I've followed multiple tutorials but still I cannot fix it on this character. Does anyone know how to fix this or what I did wrong?Changing the physics in any way does not stop the jitter.Thank you for your time!

I am working on a puppet and have managed to get the default set of eyes to work and am trying to add another set of eyes to be able to convey more emotion. I am using top and bottom eyelids instead of a blink state. The new eyes that I am working on are supposed to convey anger so I have the bottom lids slanted a bit. When put into character animator I get no response from the eyelids as well as the pupils. I am hoping somebody could enlighten me to whatever mistake I am making. Attached I have put an image of the eyes I am trying to make work as well as the layers.

Export a animation in Character Animator with transparent background: I have struggled with this for months without a solution. I have seen tutorials and tried so many ways, but no matter what I do, I can't export a transparent background. (I use a mac)This (which I found on this site) doesn't work for me:To export a scene to a video format with alpha channel, select the scene, then choose File > Export > Video with Alpha via Adobe Media Encoder. The scene is added to the Adobe Media Encoder queue, and set to use QuickTime format with the GoPro CineForm RGB 12-bit with alpha preset.Anyone who can help me?

안녕하세요 🙂 "슬픈 입", "기본 입", "행복한 입"에 그룹 태그를 달았습니다.하지만 태그가 켜져 있다는 표시가 나지 않습니다 . 왜 이런 일이 일어나는지 모르겠습니다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 '입' 그룹의 레이어를 삭제하고 새 레이어를 추가했습니다.하지만 그 부분은 똑같은데요. 이 문제를 해결하려면 어떻게 해야 하나요?

Hi CH Animators.If I add Auto Blink to character, can I also use cycle layers for that eye? If so, how do I make it slow down and show blink cycle? I have tried to set cycle layer to immediately or triggered, and still doesn't work. I also tried adjusting in 'Auto blink' properties setting duration to 720 seconds. - still didn't work to show cycle layer artwork. Thanks,Tania O

Hi! Does anyone have Character Animator 2022? I tried contacting Adobe about it but they only have up to 2023. If so, could they send me the file? Everett

久しぶりの投稿になります。 (1)最近、Premiere Proを使っていて、気になったことがるのですが、キャラクターアニメーターはタイムコードに直接入力できませんよね?(2)録画の画面やストリームの画面では、カメラをON/OFFできますが、リグの画面で、ON/OFFはできませんよね? (3)キャラクターアニメーターの本が欲しかったのですが、ありません知っていたら、教えていただけませんか？日本語があればいいんですが？ (4)なぜかはわからないのですが、イラレデータはずれていないのに、キャラクターアニメーターの画面になると、リグの画面で体の位置がバラバラになっているのですが、原因がわかりません。最初からそうなっているではないのですが、イラレのデータを触った後、保存し、キャラクターアニメーターに戻ってくるとなっています。どのタイミングで、なるかはわかりません。対処法などを教えて頂けると助かります。 質問は以上４つの質問になります。 念のため、日本語コミュニティの方にも投稿させて頂きました。(4)は日本語コミュニティには投稿していません。 長くなって申し訳ありません。答えて頂けると、助かります。  

I have a draggable bee puppet with arms. I made his arms go wide and closer to his body with Dragger behaviour and turned them into 2 replays. I want the "arms close to body" replay to start when i drag him up (to look more aerodynamic), and "arms wide open" when i drag him down (for the feeling of landing). Since Motion Triggers behaviour only work with layers, I couldn't find a solution for the smooth transition and easing out. (Turning it into cell animation and Cycling Layers isn't working well, especially for the other Replays he does with his arms)  Is it possible to trigger replays by anything else? I think the only solution I have is to Transform him move in Y position and make new replays with it, but I'm not sure if I will be happy with his position in the scene everytime this happens. Thank you!Samet
