Character Animator

Puppet seems to be working well but head is not staying on body. Seems like most trouble shooting I read focuses on making sure both the head and body are not independent, which is how I have it set up; any ideas?

Message when I try to turn on the Body Tracker "Body tracking requires a puppet with an armed (active) and enabled body behaviour" - Character Animation (CH) Beta Hi there Adobe CommunityI have seen the demo video of this Beta version of CH and subsequently downloaded it, and was looking forwarded to getting my puppet to do some funky dance moves (ha ha) using my Son's Band.I should say that I am new to CH, I have searched for an answer to this question on the web and on the forums but failed to find and answer as to how to turn on the body tracker?Would one of you clever people kindly point me in the right direction?ThanksNewby   

I'm having a problem with making the burger bounce like the chicken in the second photo. I watched the tutorial at the link below and still having problems. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzYJbZYhxmk (7:32 mark)

I cannot seem to figure out why my scene displays like this in character animator but displays correctly in photoshop or in non-scene view.Any ideas where I can look?  

Thanks for reading first of all. I've got a very simple puppet here with one working, draggable arm, and a rattlesnake dangling off of it.  When I put the link into After Effects as an Adobe Dynamic link, however, the rattlesnake doesn't dangle the same way (stiffer, less wobble, gravity etc.), and it takes away from the whole look.   I'm wondering if I should just give up on the Dynamic link and try a different export>import option (I imagine that might solve it), but was hoping to see if this is something anyone has been able to troubleshoot before. Thanks!

Hi to the community ! Excuse my language as i am french. I'll try to explain my problem in english as well as i can...  I am facing an issue with my puppet, especially with hair locks that have "physics" behavior.  I noticed it occurs when i use "transformation" on the puppet to add a global movement, that is not piloted by the camera. The hair locks are supposed to move slightly with the character, and it does work most of the time ; but strange things happen right when my key frames occur... The hair locks start turning around the face crazily - and it does not happen everytime, it's random. Some times it doesn't stop, it keeps doing this until i click somewhere in the picture. The only way i have found to stop the problem was to erase the key frames on the transformation behavior ; and do the movement in After Effects. But i would prefer to fix this !Thank you on advance Here are some screenshots of the problem (and of the character when her hair l

I'm trying to test an arm trigger out but nothing comes up when I press 1. I use Illustrator for the characters and the arm. The arm doesn't match the stick figure but I was just testing it out to see if it worked. Nothing happened. 

Hiya everyoneWhere is the document for a total list of layers for Puppets? I can't find it.Thanks in advance

Is there any way to move two or more markers at once? Is there any way to drage markers and clips together? I sure hope so because otherwise it is extremely hard to heep them in sync with the clips in a composition.

I am new to character animator and looking for advice on how to animate the ears and whiskers so that the keep moving a bit after the rest of the head stops to make them look a bit more floppy. Is there a way to add an animation to them separate from the head?As a secondary note, I've noticed that the eyes and whiskers move across the head horizontally when I turn to face a different direction but the nose doesn't follow this movement. Is there a way I can add this?

I am on Windows 10 and periodically when I open Character Animator and toggle between this window and another program opened on my computer.... the screen goes black and I only see the puppet in full screen. I can't quit this view unless I press CTRL + ESC on keyboard repeatedly. I am not connected to a secondary monitor and am just on my laptop. Has anyone else experienced this?

Parallax is working great on all the default views (mouth and brows) but is not applied to the swap sets.I found a work around for the mouths but I can't seem to get the surprised and angry brows to work. I did take the brows out of swap set (so they all showed at the same time) and the default set were still the only ones with parallax applied.Brows are in a groups parented to head. All brows are tagged as right and left eyebrows so I am not sure what is going on. Swap sets work as expected, just no parallax unless default view.layers setup default brows with parallax surprised brows no parallax!Any suggestions? Thank you in advance

After calibrating my pose (which looks ok – though the arms could still hang a little more), I have to walk to the computer to initiate recording. After getting back to my position to act the wrists are higher now than when calibrating the tracker. Is this a problem leaving my tracking position? I marked the spot well, so I should be in the right place.

Hey Friends, wondering if anyone knows how to export a puppet as a .svg file. The reason I need to do this is because I am working on a project where I am responsible for the lip sync of an animated puppet and a colleague is responsible for animating the rest but he wants to do it in After Effects. We are on different sides of the country. Could I make this a team project?  Is there a way to do this? Any other workflow reccomendations for this would help. Thanks!

So on my recent puppet, I've been having an issue with her eye-gaze behavior. Her left eye works fine and when she looks to "her" right she's fine, but when she looks to "her" left, the right eye goes flying under or over the other layers and does not stay in the boundary set. I've checked everything, the behavior, compared it to her left eye layers, even checked the artwork in photoshop, and cannot figure out the issue. Can someone help me out with this?

When I tried to install the latest version of Adobe Character Animator, it stops with an error that says: "Sorry, installation failed We are unable to complete the installation this time. (Error Code: 127)" Could someone help please?Thank you!

I've tried multiple ways: "Import," Using the Media Browser and dragging, Media Browser and clicking "import," dragging from the folder into premiere.  Every time I attempt to bring it in, Premiere freezes up and I have to close it using task manager.  Anyone experience this or have any suggestions?  Thanks. b

Is it possible to make a video like below in Character Animator? I already have the character created but I'm not sure how to make the arms move. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yP3Uv3TzYgQ

Hello, Is it possible to make upper and lower arm layers separated? So i can make this part of the shoulder hidden/covered but still able to connect these two layers to move as a whole.

Hi all! I just signed up for adobe suite.  In Charactor animator, my webcam(s) don't appear,it says "no camera detected" but it's working fine in Zoom and Skype. I tried with both at a time with the other one disconnected, but no luck.  They both work fine in other softwares.  I run windows 10.  All drivers are up to date, firmwares too.  Any help will be appreciated! Thanks!

I have a 2d cartoon facing Left Profile, so her left arm is layered behind the body. In the CA scene I want her to play a guitar. I've been trying, but can't figure out how to layer it so that her left arm stays behind the body, left hand in front of the guitar holding strings, while the guitar is layered in front of the body but behind the right arm. You know, how it would look if someone was playing a guitar. Can anyone help push me in the right direction?
